Steps
- – Put it all Together
- Take your fat base and your delicious ketogenic ingredients and put them all together into one delicious ball or bar.
- To do this, you can melt or soften your fat base and blend or mix in your ingredients. The softened fat base can be formed into balls or bars (whatever shape you prefer to consume) and refrigerated. The melted fat base can be transferred into a container, tray, or plate and refrigerated until it is solid.
- — Melt and Mix
- Melt the coconut oil in a pan at low heat. Once the coconut oil is completely liquified, mix in the same amount of cacao powder until you have a homogenous chocolate mixture. (By this I mean use one cup of cacao powder if you used one cup of coconut oil.)
- It is best to start with a smaller amount like a quarter cup of each. Once you develop a delicious recipe, however, all restrictions are off — make as much chocolate as you desire. It can save well and be portioned out if you store it in the refrigerator.
- — Customize and Solidify
- Now that you have your chocolate liquid, turn off the heat source and add in what you want to be in your chocolate. You can put in a bit of erythritol, stevia, or sucralose for some sweetness, mix in your favorite nuts for some crunch, or add in some cinnamon and vanilla to give it a unique twist.
- Once you have finished mixing in your extra ingredients, pour it into a plate, cookie sheet, or silicone container, and put it in the fridge until it solidifies (2-4 hours).
- — Eat and Enjoy
- Go to the refrigerator, break off a piece of your chocolate, and enjoy. Yes, it is that easy to make a fat bomb. It will not look as beautiful as store-bought chocolate bars, but it will still be tasty and much healthier.
- Sprinkle cinnamon and cloves together with allspice in your next fat bomb, and you will turn any bland dessert into a delicious treat with fall flavors.
