A while ago I made keto-friendly homemade Mounds bars/ Bounty bars and I really, really loved them.
I usually don’t make a lot of my recipes more than two or three times after I published them here on my blog because I’m constantly creating new recipes and thus always have new keto treats at home that I have to eat before they go bad.
But my keto coconut bars are an exception, I really love eating them so I still make them once in a while.
I did want to create something though that’s a bit less complicated than the coconut bars.
Not that they’re super difficult to make, but you do have to invest a bit of time and patience to make them.
So I started off with the basic recipe for my keto coconut bars that taste surprisingly a lot like Mounds bars/ Bounty bars and made a few changes to make a recipe with easier instructions that are quicker to make.
I’d say I succeeded.
These keto coconut fat bombs taste very similar to my keto coconut bars but they don’t require as much time to make.
If you’re not a big fan of the chocolate or you can’t find keto-friendly chocolate, you can easily skip it and reduce the prep time even more (and the carbs as well).
But even with the chocolate, they are super low carb with only 1.3g net carbs per ball!

HEALTHY COCONUT FAT BOMBS INGREDIENTS:
You can find the exact amounts needed on the recipe card at the end of this post!
I recommend buying organic shredded coconut
coconut cream is not the same thing as coconut milk – the cream has more fat and a thicker consistency.
You could try using the thick part of coconut milk when you can’t find coconut cream but unfortunately, I haven’t tried it myself so I can’t give specific recommendations.
My favorite keto-friendly sweetener!
– it doesn’t spike your blood sugar,
– it’s completely safe and
– has a very natural sweet taste.
Because of its natural origin and natural production process (fermentation) I also consider erythritol to be paleo-friendly.
Even though I’m a little biased towards erythritol, I’m not discriminating against other granulated keto-friendly sweeteners that won’t spike your blood sugar.
Keep in mind though, that you might have to adjust the amount used because erythritol isn’t as sweet as other sweeteners out there.
Erythritol is about 70% as sweet as normal table sugar whereas other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit and stevia are usually much sweeter than sugar.
Taste a tiny amount of the mass before oversweetening it and adjust accordingly!
If you can’t find sugar-free chocolate, you can use also dark chocolate with a very high cocoa amount (85% or more) – usually, chocolate bars with a cacao content this high only contain a very small amount of sugar.
HOW TO MAKE PALEO-FRIENDLY COCONUT FAT BOMBS:
I do consider erythritol to be a natural sweetener, so in my opinion, it’s paleo-friendly.
If you are living paleo, you have to take a closer look at the coconut cream and the chocolate:
– the coconut cream should not be heavily processed and should ideally only contain coconut, water, and other paleo-friendly ingredients
– chocolate per se isn’t paleo-friendly, but you could use chocolate with a very high amount of cocoa like this one.
I’m not an expert regarding the paleo diet – if you would like to read more about chocolate and the paleo diet I recommend this article.
HOW TO MAKE VEGAN COCONUT FAT BOMBS:
If you’re vegan, you have to look out for chocolate that doesn’t contain milk products like whey.
HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY COCONUT FAT BOMBS:
1. Mix the coconut filling:
In a small bowl, mix the ingredients for the coconut filling (specified on the recipe card) until you get a smooth mass.
2. Form small balls
Scoop out approx. 1 tbsp of the mass using a cookie or measuring scoop and roll the mass in between your hands until you get small balls.
Place the finished coconut balls in your freezer while you melt your chocolate.
(If you don’t plan to cover them with chocolate, still keep them in your freezer for 10-15 minutes or in your fridge for 30 minutes before consuming them.)
3. Cover with chocolate:
Melt the chocolate using a double boiler.
Get the balls out of your freezer and place them in your melted chocolate one by one.
Place the fully covered coconut balls on parchment paper or a silicone mat, sprinkle a bit of shredded coconut on top and wait until the chocolate has fully hardened.
You can accelerate the hardening of the chocolate by placing the chocolate-covered coconut balls in your fridge.
If you live somewhere where it’s really hot, you should place them in your fridge either way.
4. Serve:
Enjoy once they are completely cooled!
Cover with plastic wrap and store in your fridge for up to 4-5 days.

There were fabulous! Beautiful to look at and enjoyed by many non-keto friends. They were also easy to make. I found the filling a bit gritty and over-sweet and would use less erythritol next time (I am not keto so I would actually probably just make them with a little bit of sugar). Thanks for sharing!
