Plus, a chocolate touch (be it drizzled or dipped!) makes them oh-so-amazing! And if you keep them frozen, picture the chocolate layer cracking and the fat bombs literally melting in your mouth . An ice cream fat bomb situation sorta thing!
You are eating the butter raw, so going organic and grass-fed really is a must here. Because, aside from the taste being 1,34049 times better, grass-fed butter has a completely different nutritional profile to regular butter.

These (3 ingredient!) buttercream keto fat bombs are ridiculously easy and shockingly delicious! Expect pure melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE BUTTERCREAM FAT BOMBS
115 g organic grass-fed butter at room temperature
115 g cream cheese at room temperature
2-6 tablespoons powdered erythritol or xylitol to taste*
1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional (but highly suggested!)
pinch kosher salt
FOR THE COATING
dark chocolate such as Lily's (optional & to taste)
almonds toasted and roughly chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
Add the butter and cream cheese to a large bowl. Cream the mixture with an electric mixer until evenly combined, a couple minutes. Start by adding just two tablespoons of sweetener, adding more if necessary to taste. Continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 8 minutes.
Spoon into silicon moulds or pipe as you would with frosting (I used a star tip). Freeze until hardened.
If adding a chocolate layer, melt chocolate in a water bath (or the microwave), feel free to add a touch of coconut oil to thin it out. Allow it to come to room temperature before coating. Drizzle it over the fat bombs or dip them in using two forks. Freeze again straight away.
RECIPE NOTES
Please note that nutrition facts were estimated for the ENTIRE batch. You can make approximately 50 fat bombs (at 0.1g net carbs a pop).
But given that the yield will depend on how many fat bombs you get, DIVIDE EVERYTHING IN THE NUTRITION FACTS BY YOUR NUMBER OF FAT BOMBS! Sorry for the caps ;)!
