Low Carb Cheesecake Bombs
I’m one of those people who always crave dessert at the end of each meal.
Some of my friends can eat just a salad for lunch or dinner and be completely satisfied… but that has NEVER been me!
It doesn’t need to be a brownie sundae or a whole slice of cake or anything—just a small piece of dark chocolate, or a single Vegan Peanut Butter Cup will work.
If I don’t have some sort of dessert, I feel like the meal isn’t over yet.
So these quick-to-prepare cheesecake bombs are perfect for people like me.
They are an easy everyday snack you can make just once and keep on hand throughout the week for whenever you’re craving something sweet.

Chocolate Chip
The basic recipes for chocolate and vanilla are below, or change up the flavor by adding mini chocolate chips, instant coffee, lemon zest, a pinch of cinnamon, or anything you have on hand that sounds good to you!
You can also cover them in melted chocolate, sprinkles, crushed oreos, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut if desired.
For peanut butter cream cheese bombs, simply replace the butter or coconut oil with peanut butter.
The cream cheese balls should work with most butter spreads, coconut oil, or coconut butter.
I used a low-fat butter spread (Smart Balance Light, which is also vegan) for the balls in the photos, to ensure low-fat spreads are also fine to use.
Trending Right Now: Whipped Coffee Recipe – 3 Ingredients
About a year ago, in my original post about the Fat Bombs trend sweeping the internet, I’d mentioned the treats are often made with cream cheese.
Ever since that post, I’ve gotten so many questions from readers about how to make fat bombs using cream cheese that it went to the top of the list as something to try, and they are just as good as everyone’s been saying!
The recipe was inspired by the frosting on these Pumpkin Cupcakes.
Cream Cheese Bombs
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese or vegan cream cheese
- 2 tbsp butter spread of choice, or coconut oil or coconut butter
- 2-3 tbsp powdered sugar or erythritol
- for chocolate bombs, add 1 tbsp regular or dutch cocoa powder
Instructions
- Soften the first two ingredients. Combine everything until smooth: using a hand mixer yields smoothest results, but stirring with a fork will technically work if needed. Spread into a container, or use a cookie scoop to scoop balls onto a parchment-lined plate. (If batter is too soft, just chill until firm enough to scoop.) Freeze to set. If using a container, cut into squares or bars. You can also cover them in melted chocolate at this time if desired. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer.View Nutrition Facts

These are so delicious. I had to add two ounces more in order to make the 8 balls. I only used 1tbsp of whole Earth sweetener and 1 tbsp of Just like sugar sweetner. It tastes amazing.

I made ’em..texture is so beautiful. However, one mistake I committed is that I used puck cream cheese spread and since it’s salty, the balls are way too salty..Does anyone have any solution to make it taste less salty?
Jason Sanford says
Hmm not sure, I’ve never heard of that brand and am guessing they must add salt? Maybe add some sweetener and regular cream cheese if you have any, to dilute it?

Hi! how the cream cheese bombs have a little darker color in the picture, is because absorbs the chocolate maybe? because i don’t see vanilla ingredient, thank you
Jamie says
Can anyone tell me if these turn out like Clio yogurt bars? I’m addicted to them! Would love to be able to make my own version.
Melissa says
Can you really use regular powder sugar instead of a sugar replacement? The instructions aren’t very clear. I have tried several different sweetners, none of which I like.
CCK Media Team says
You can, as long as you don’t need them to be keto 🙂
Sim says
So so good. Just what I needed after a week on keto, craving some sweet. So satisfying, but you only need a little bit as they’re rich and creamy.
Zoya says
For me it did not work as well as pictures show. Even after refrigirating it was quite soft. In freezer it got firm, but those are already like a frozen bites. Nice taste in the end.
Sim🤩 says
