What is a fat bomb?
Fat bombs are 1-2 bite snacks that are nearly all fat, with very little protein or carbs.
Since carbs are restricted on keto, your body turns to fat for fuel (a very simplified version of what happens in ketosis). It can be tricky to get enough fats from regular food, so fat bombs are a useful tool to give your body the fat it needs.
They also make delicious keto-friendly desserts when cravings strike, but you want to stay on track!
Keto Churro Fat Bombs Ingredients
- Cream cheese
- Butter — stick with unsalted butter, as the pork rinds may be salty already
- Vanilla extract
- Granular sweetener — We love Lakanto brand monk fruit sweeteners — if you shop through my link and use code “SOCCERMOM” you can save 15% every time you purchase!
- Cinnamon
- Pork rinds — regular flavor, crushed

How to Make Keto Churro Fat Bombs
To start, grab two mixing bowls. In the first bowl, use an electric hand mixer to blend butter, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract.
In the second bowl, mix 1 Tablespoon cinnamon, 1 Tablespoon sweetener, and 1 Tablespoon melted butter.
Pour the cinnamon mixture into the bowl of cream cheese mixture and use a spoon to gently swirl them together.
Cover the bowl and chill in fridge for about 20 minutes.
While the fat bomb filling cools, grab a small mixing bowl and whisk together pork rind crumbs, a heaping tablespoon of cinnamon, and 1/3 cup granular sweetener.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking mat. Take the bowl of cream cheese mixture out of the fridge and use a small cookie scoop (1 TB) to portion it out onto your prepared pan.
Roll each individual ball in the pork rind mixture and place back on parchment surface.
Enjoy!
How to Store
TIP: For any fat bombs that you’re planning to save for later, wait to roll those in the pork rinds mixture until you’re ready to eat them.
Store the cinnamon pork rind crumbles in a ziplock bag or airtight container at room temperature. Place the fat bombs (without coating) in a food storage container in the fridge or freezer.
Roll fat bombs in your churro coating right before you eat them — this keeps the coating crispy!
How many fat bombs can you have on keto?
As the name implies, fat bombs are super rich and loaded with fat! While fat is our friend on the keto diet, eating a handful at a time might cause a bit of stomach upset because they are indeed so rich.
We recommend 1-2 fat bombs per day as a keto-friendly sweet treat or a pick-me-up snack.
How long do fat bombs last in the freezer?
Fat bombs are great to make ahead for those days when you need a bite of something sweet or a quick burst of energy. They can keep for up to 1-2 weeks in the fridge, but they last even longer in the freezer!
Store your fat bombs in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container and they will last for up to 6 months!
