One of the very first recipes I’ve published since I started this blog was this keto carrot cake mug cake.
And it was such a revelation.

It awakened the desire to experiment with even more ingredients and create new keto-friendly recipes because it was so delicious.
These keto carrot cake fat bombs are one of the results after months of experimenting.

What can I say, I love them.
They’re easy to make, they taste really good and even though they contain carrot – I guarantee that they are 100% suitable for the ketogenic diet.

I’ve found that there are quite a lot of approaches to the ketogenic diet: from dirty keto to cyclical keto and then what I like to call flexible keto.

It’s different from cyclical keto because you don’t go out of ketosis deliberately.
It’s the approach that no foods are off-limits as long as you calculate your carbs correctly.
The keto version of IIFYM if you will.

This may not be the best approach for everyone because it may trigger cravings for some, but I’ve found it pretty easy to calculate the carbs of half a carrot into my daily carb count and go on with my life (AND stay in ketosis).

And if you do the math you can see that some “no-go” vegetables like carrots are actually pretty “benign”, even on the ketogenic diet.
One of these little guys only has about 1g net carbs while providing you with 9g of healthy fats.

Ergo: You feel full after you eat one or two of them, you don’t spike your carb count more than you would with “keto-approved” foods AND you satisfy your cravings.
In my opinion, that’s a big win right here.

KETO CARROT CAKE FAT BOMBS INGREDIENTS:

(You can find the exact amounts needed on the recipe card at the end of this post!)

HOW TO MAKE KETO CARROT CAKE FAT BOMBS:

 
1. Grate carrot, chop walnuts & mix:
Grate the carrot rather finely and press out the liquid with a kitchen towel or paper towel.
It’s important to press out the liquid because this will greatly affect the consistency of the finished fat bombs.

To do this, put the grated carrot into a kitchen towel or a paper towel (if you don’t want to mess up your kitchen towels) and “squeeze” the carrot carefully with your hand.

It’s best to do this over the kitchen sink.
It’s ok if a bit of liquid remains in the carrot but most of it should be pressed out.

Chop the walnuts or blend for about 20 seconds in your food processor until no big chunks are left.

Add the grated carrot, chopped walnuts, brown erythritol, and spices into a bowl and mix.

 
2. Mix with remaining ingredients:
Add the butter as well and mix with a spoon until you get a smooth mass.

To fully combine the softened butter with the remaining ingredients, I recommend pressing the backside of your spoon to the wall of the bowl while you stir.
(As if you were to apply the fat bomb mass with a spatula.)

 
3. Form balls & chill:
Scoop out parts of the mass and form small balls using your hands.

Chill the balls in your fridge while preparing the cream cheese topping.

 
4. Make cream cheese topping:
Mix the cream cheese, powdered erythritol, and lemon juice with a hand blender.
(It’ll be a bit fluffier if you use a hand blender, but it’ll also work if you mix it with a spoon.)

Add the cream cheese frosting to the carrot cake fat bombs using a spoon or, if you feel fancy (like I did), with a frosting bag.

 
5. Enjoy:
Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before enjoying your delicious keto carrot cake fat bombs. 🙂

If you plan to store these keto carrot cake fat bombs longer than 1-2 days, I recommend storing the cream cheese topping separately from the fat bombs and add it once you plan to eat them.
An even better way is to make fresh cream cheese frosting as it tends to dry up if exposed to air after about 1-2 days.

 
Nutrition Info:
One keto carrot cake fat bomb (approx. 0.7oz/20g and 1.2″ or 3cm) has 0.9g net carbs (1.4g total carbs and 0.5g dietary fiber), 9.1g fat, 1.2g protein, and 90 calories.

Keep in mind that the nutrition info per serving may change depending on the size of the balls you make.

(I try to be as accurate as possible with this information, but values may vary because of natural occurring fluctuations and different products used.)

Q: How do you include Erythritol in your calculations?

A: The short answer is: I don’t, and I can tell you why.


Erythritol is a sugar alcohol which your body can’t digest.
If you ingest it, it won’t spike your blood sugar & it won’t release insulin (which is a good thing if you want to stay in ketosis).

It passes through our system basically “untouched”.
Because of this, you can subtract the carbs from erythritol completely, which is what I always do.
