You've seen me rhapsodize about chocolate cream cheese bombs. Naturally, that led me to another favorite taste: strawberry. I thought the transition from chocolate to keto strawberry fat bombs would be relatively simple. And I was right, although it did take some experimentation.
My first couple of approaches were unsuccessful. Something was missing. Somehow, the "strawbs" weren't sweet enough.
So I reached for a dependable, old school reliable: Jell-O! Sugar-free, of course, to keep things keto-friendly. The addition of strawberry Jell-O provided the added burst of flavor these strawberry fat bombs needed.
Ingredients
How to make these fat bombs
Just as with the chocolate version, assembly is simple. Just cream together the ingredients using a hand mixer. Be sure to mix thoroughly to ensure all the granular Jell-O gets dissolved.
You will enjoy the lovely pink color that develops. 😃
If you want to keep the strawberry chunks intact, first whip the other ingredients first, until well combined. Then add the strawberries and mix to distribute.
Form the creamed mixture by using a silicone mold or cookie scoop. If the mixture seems too soft for the cookie scoop, refrigerate 10-15 minutes to firm it up first.

If you don't have a mold, you can simply use the cookie scoop to place the portions onto a parchment paper-lined surface.
Place formed bombs in the freezer until set (20-30 minutes).
Keep these keto snacks in the freezer, and remove a couple when the craving hits. If you let them sit at room temperature for a couple minutes, you will enjoy all the creamy goodness in every bite!
Add a little chocolate
The next step involves chocolate. It's technically optional but in my world the words "chocolate" and "optional" don't belong together. I think a little touch of chocolate really lifts the flavor. After all, who doesn't like chocolate covered strawberries? And being "on a diet" doesn't require that we sacrifice all taste, right?!
Melt some sugar-free chocolate (I use Lily's dark chocolate baking bars - they are Stevia sweetened!) in a small bowl by microwaving for two 30-second bursts. Stir until smooth.
With a spoon, drizzle chocolate over the bombs.
Store the finished keto strawberry fat bombs in an airtight container and place in the freezer. When you are ready for a rich and creamy treat, allow to thaw about 5-10 minutes.

THESE ARE SO PRETTY!!! Also, "strawbs," ha ha ha. I love the way you write. 🙂 These look waaaaay better than actual chocolate-covered strawberries. And healthier, too. 😉

I don't think I would EVER turn down a chocolate-covered strawberry, but these do come pretty close 🙂
