How to Make Chocolate Dipped Keto Coconut Fat Bombs
These coconut fat bombs get most of their delicious coconut flavoring from the use of two different sources of coconut — finely shredded unsweetened coconut and coconut oil. Both of these ingredients provide a nice amount of saturated fats in the form of medium chain triglyceride (MCT) fatty acids.
MCT fats are known to offer quite a few great benefits compared to other types of saturated fats, so much so that even just shredded coconut flakes have been shown to lower the bad kind of LDL cholesterol in individuals with moderately raised serum cholesterol levels. (1)

You’ll be taking these two ingredients and adding them into a food processor along with some butter, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and either Stevia or some other low carb granulated sweetener. Process everything until it’s well combined and then roll them into balls before throwing them in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
While your coconut fat bombs are in the freezer, you can go ahead and make the homemade chocolate glaze by melting together some more coconut oil together with the dark chocolate. This is my favorite way to make a glaze for fat bomb recipes because it’s so simple to prepare and it adds two excellent sources of healthy fats to the fat bombs.

And especially for this particular recipe, it adds even more of a delightful coconut taste to the recipe. It meshes well the the slightly bitter taste of the dark chocolate, which also offers some solid benefits as it’s a rich source of antioxidants.
One study actually found that regular consumption of small amounts of dark chocolate was able to lower inflammation. (2) Considering that chronic inflammation is at the root of many types of disease, this chocolate glaze is an amazingly tasty way to help lower your disease risk.
After taking the coconut fat bombs out of the freezer, use two forks to dip each of them into the chocolate glaze and then freeze them again until the chocolate sets. I love making this recipe because these fat bombs are incredibly yummy and they’re such a convenient snacking option to enjoy when you’re feeling hungry and looking for something that’s high in fat.
I strongly recommend this recipe for anyone out there who’s already a big fan of coconuts — it could very well become your new favorite keto snack!

I made these today! Can’t wait to try one, but it’s my after dinner treat. I used a half tablespoon to scoop out the filling and got 24. Thanks.
Rolled them in ground cinnamon instead of dipping them in chocolate to replicate Irish potatoes!
