How to Make Cream Cheese Cinnamon Roll Fat Bombs
In order to make the cinnamon rolls appropriate for the keto diet, you’re going to be swapping out many of the traditional ingredients used when making them in favor of some low carb, high fat alternatives. You’ll start by creaming together the softened butter with your choice of zero calorie sweetener (I recommend using Stevia, but anything other than actual sugar will do).
Next, add in the cream cheese and vanilla extract and beat the mixture until it’s combined. These four ingredients get your fat bombs off to a fantastic start, by adding in a ton of fats from the butter and cream cheese while keeping them carb-free thanks to the use of a zero calorie sweetening option.
The next step is to add in your almond flour and cinnamon. Each of these ingredients are the real keys to this recipe. Almond flour is an excellent replacement for refined wheat flour that adds a nice amount of fat, protein, fiber, and essential nutrients into this recipe.
And where wheat flour is a known cause of inflammation in some people, almond flour actually helps to lower inflammation and reduce your cholesterol levels, helping to protect against cardiovascular diseases. (1)
The cinnamon is also there for far more than just the delicious flavor it adds — this tasty spice has also demonstrated properties that are able to regulate blood sugar levels and even help lower your blood pressure and cholesterol. (2) The combination of all of these great ingredients makes sure that these fat bombs are a much healthier alternative than regular cinnamon rolls made with sugar and wheat.
After placing your cinnamon rolls in the freezer, you can begin whisking together the heavy whipping cream, cream cheese, Stevia (or your preferred low carb sweetener), and the vanilla extract to make the cream cheese frosting. This specific frosting tastes absolutely amazing, even better than most cream cheese frostings that I’ve tried, and it’s absolutely loaded with healthy fats.
Once your cinnamon rolls are good to go, simply drizzle the cream cheese frosting over top of them and then pop them back into the freezer until you’re ready to enjoy them. These fat bombs are certain to satisfy anybody’s cravings for a sweet treat. Better yet, not only are they a fantastic high fat snack to enjoy that won’t knock you out of ketosis, but they’re actually pretty healthy as well!

Ok I saw the nutrition facts but how much is a serving size? Is the nutrition that’s listed per ball? Thanks in advance!
1 tablespoon cookie scoop
OMG! I’m usually not thrilled fat bomb recipes. However, I made this one and I have died and gone to heaven. The best ever! Thank you so much

Do you cook the cream cheese cinnamon Keto bombs?
Nope! These are no-bake 🙂
Sooo delicious. At first I wasn’t too sure of how well I was actually going to enjoy them but IM DEFINITELY GOING TO ENJOY THEM! Perfect sweetness. I used the swerve granular sugar for the fat bombs. And I used the stevia powder for he frosting but I should’ve maybe done 1 ts because of how strong the sweetness I know the powder is. Also mine didn’t freeze that well, not thick enough to make a sphere with them…

Bree,
Great website! Thank you so much for these brilliant recipes.
I made the Cream Cheese Cinnamon Roll Keto Fat Bombs and using the 1 inch cookie scoop I ended up with twice as many. Maybe I’m completely mistaken on my scoop??? Anyhoo these are lovely, delectable treats that I can have while the rest of my family is eating ice cream, chocolate bars and just about anything else society thinks of for dessert and I feel amazing about it. Thank you so much.

Amazing flavor! I’ve been craving something sweet and was really struggling and this was just what I needed! I used spherical trays lined with plastic from Mochi ice cream, so I was able to freeze them in perfect round shapes right away. I over mixed frosting a little, so it was a little difficult to apply

Can you use coconut flour as a alternative? I have family member with a nut allergy.
Coconut flour should work great as well 🙂
I mean…..WOW. the cinnamon truffle part is very delicious on it’s own. Then you cover them in that frosting and it is MAGIC! I never write reviews but this was exceptional. I used Monkfruit sweetener and you can’t tell it’s even low carb!

Oh, my gosh! These are so good that I’m mad at myself for not trying them sooner! I was feeling lazy so I didn’t even roll them into balls or put on the frosting. I just plopped the blobs onto a sheet of parchment paper and put them in the fridge to chill. They taste heavenly as is!
