Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and we are real, it is not the same without chocolate. But if you have a keto diet, normal sweets are a no-go. Don’t worry – I have something even better. These keto chocolate fat bombs with Macadamia nuts and a touch of sea salt are switched off their socks. They are creamy, rich, slightly salty and the perfect mix of sweet and hearty to show yourself or your loved ones. They are also easy to make and too perfect in their macros.

Why fat bombs are great for keto

If you were on keto for a while, you already know that Fat King is. But getting enough healthy fats without exaggerating with carbohydrates can sometimes feel difficult. Fat bombs solve this problem. They are small bite of fatty quality, which you keep satisfied and fuel your body with energy and at the same time keep carbohydrates on a minimum.

This recipe has the bonus to be packed with Macadamia nuts that are naturally carbohydratic and full of heart-healthy fats. In combination with the rich taste of dark chocolate and a scatter sea salt you get a dessert that feels luxurious, but needs almost no time.

Ingredients will need

Take these ingredients from your pantry or in the shop before starting:

• Dark chocolate (85% cocoa or higher): About 200 grams (7 ounces). Go as dark as you want to keep the carbohydrates low.
• Macadamia nuts: 1/2 cup (roughly chopped). You can use salted or unsalted depending on your taste.
• Coconut oil: 2 tablespoons. It adds a silky texture and increases the fat content.
• Unsweetened cocoa powder: 1 tablespoon for additional wealth of chocolate.
• Powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener: 2–3 tablespoons, depending on how sweet you like.
• Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon for taste.
• Sea salt: A pinch to sprinkle this perfect contrast.

Kitchen tools you need

• A microwave -safe bowl or a double boiler for melting chocolate.
• Silicone shapes or an ice cube bowl. (Heart -shaped shapes make them perfect for Valentine’s Day!)
• A spoon or a small spatula for mixing.
• Measurement of cups and spoons for accuracy.

Step-by-step instructions

• Prepare your shape
  If you use silicone shapes, make sure you are clean and dry. Set them on a baking sheet so that you can move easily later.
• Melt chocolate
  Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and put them in a microwave -related bowl. Add the coconut oil. Mix the microwave in 20-second intervals, each time it is completely melted and smooth. If you don’t have a microwave, use a double boiler over low heat to avoid burning the chocolate.
• Sweet and taste
  Stir in the powder erythritan, cocoa powder and vanilla extract until they are fully combined. Try the mix to check the sweetness – this is your chance to adapt it before you enter.
• Add the Macadamia nuts
  Chop the Macadamia nuts into small pieces and fold into the melted chocolate. Reserve a few pieces to sprinkle if you want you to look particularly chic.
• Pour in shapes
  Pour the chocolate mixture carefully into your shapes and fill everyone about 3/4 full. This leaves space for coverings without overflow.
• Top with sea salt and additional nuts
  Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and a few additional Macadamia nut pieces on every fat bomb. Do not skip the salt – it produces the chocolate taste and turns everything into pop.
• To relax until festival
  Place the baking sheet with the shapes in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours or until the fat bombs are fully adjusted. If you are in a hurry, put them in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
• Pop them out and storage
  Once tight, put the fat bombs out of the shapes. Keep them up to two weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator or in the freezer for longer storage.

Tips for perfect fat bombs

• Use high quality chocolate: Since chocolate is the star, go for a good brand with at least 85% cocoa. Cheap chocolate can sometimes have a waxy aftertaste.
• Don’t skip the oil: The coconut oil not only makes the texture smoother, but also helps the fat bombs in its mouth.
• Taste before you relax: Always try the mix to adapt the sweetness or saltness. As soon as it sets, there is no back.

Macro collapse

Here is the estimated diet per fat bomb (provided you do about 12):

• Calories: ~ 110
• Fat: ~ 10g
• Carbohydrates: ~ 2G (neto -arcrates can be even lower depending on the sweetener and chocolate))
• Protein: ~ 1g

This makes you perfect for a quick snack or a small dessert after dinner.

Would you like to switch it on? Here are some funny turns:

• Add peanut butter: Turn a teaspoon of natural peanut butter into any shape before you have cooled.
• Use almonds or pecans: Exchange the Macadamia nuts for another keto-friendly nut.
• Spicy chocolate: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chocolate for a small kick.
