These vegan Chocolate Cherry Fat Bombs are sweet, rich, and creamy. Sweet juicy cherries inside of dark rich chocolate, oh yeah!
Since I mashed the cherries, the juice is mixed into the chocolate, making it even sweeter.
These Chocolate Cherry Fat Bombs are sweetened with stevia, so they are sugar-free. Although you would never know they were sugar-free from tasting them.
Not only does the juice from the mashed cherries add sweetness, but adding almond extract adds sweetness as well. These are low in carbs and high in fat - perfect for a keto diet.
Fat bombs are an easy, palatable way to get more coconut oil into your diet. I add coconut oil to my morning smoothie and Vegan Bulletproof Coffee as well.
Ever since I started eating a vegan keto diet in September, I have fallen in love with fat bombs. They're easy to make and even more fun to eat. Plus, they come in such a cute little package.
These keto fat bombs are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Chocolate fat bombs with sweet cherries, what's not to love?

How to Melt Coconut Butter
- Melt coconut butter by placing the jar in a saucepan filled with water over medium heat. Occasionally pull the jar out with oven mitts and stir it. If it's hard to stir, stick it back in the simmering water until it's ready.
- Do NOT put the coconut butter in the microwave. It will cook unevenly and burn.
- When it's easy to stir, spoon it into a measuring cup to measure out the amount you need.
💭 Tips
- The coconut oil CAN be heated in the microwave if it's solid, but the coconut butter will cook unevenly and burn.
- Freeze the fat bombs and store them in the fridge or freezer.

Can you use fresh cherries,instead of frozen ones?

Definitely!
Lisa says
Could you use regular butter instead of coconut butter?
Willow Moon says
You could try it. I don't know how it would come out. I am vegan, so I have never tested the recipe with butter.
BillyRose says
Lisa, I came here to also ask what I could sub for the coconut butter. Did you try it with regular butter? How did it turn out?
Donna K says
Has anyone tried making these without the setvia?
BillyRose says
I’m curious as well! Maybe sugar water? Or corn syrup?
Ami says
My husband has rated these better than any dessert he's ever tasted. They are amazing!

If this makes 12 fat bombs, How many fat bombs are in 1 serving?

Ashli McDaniel says
Can I use granulated stevia instead of drops? If so, how much should I use?
Willow Moon says
I have never used it, but it should work just fine. On the Sweetleaf stevia conversion chart it says to use 1/2 a packet, or 1/8 teaspoon.
