Every Ingredient is Coconut!
Often times I’ll get a crazy idea in my head and when I put it to the test it is a huge failure. This was not one of those times! I wanted to create coconut fat bombs that packed in enough coconut flavor for even the biggest coconut fans. I’ve accomplished that with these 3 ingredient Coconut Fat Bombs! That’s not all. We’ve even put together a recipe video that shows you how to make them. These are pretty straightforward, but some people like videos!
Fat Bombs – What’s the Big Deal?
Great question! I used to be a skeptic of the fat bomb revolution, but have officially given in to it’s awesomeness! Not only are these tasty as can be, but they are great ways to supplement fat, which a lot of people struggle with on a keto diet. Getting enough fat on a daily basis is made so much easier when you have a portable “bomb” waiting for you in the fridge/freezer. Over the last few months we’ve been using fat bombs much more often to up our fat intake and we’re happy with the results!

Notes on the Ingredients
The ingredient list for these coconut fat bombs is about as basic as they come. There’s a couple of factors to keep in mind when choosing your ingredients however. The coconut flakes are the big one. Make sure you’re getting unsweetened, and also opt for the more finely shredded variants if you can find it. We’ve found the more finely shredded the coconut the more evenly dispersed the flakes will be, and they won’t rise to the top as much. The Coconut Milk is the next item to consider. Check the nutrition label because they try and sneak all kinds of stuff into coconut milk! Try and get a version with coconut milk and not much else. This should run you about 2g of carbs per serving.
There’s Levels to This
Sweetness levels that is! I know I said 3 ingredients, but the 4th ingredient is an optional one. Stevia! The amount you add, of course, determines how sweet the coconut fat bombs will be. The 20 drops shown in this recipe make them nice and lightly sweetened. If you want these coconut fat bombs to be dessert, then add some more. Probably 30-40 drops.

Honestly, these did not work. They turned out very crumbly and tasteless. Perhaps it would work better with coconut cream instead of coconut milk.
Sorry to hear that Mary. Just confirm, you did use the coconut milk from a can, right (its thick)? It’s not the milk like cashew and almond milk. That would be too thin.
Hi, Found your site, YOUTUBE page a few days ago and so thrilled to have your insight and help, thank you!
I’m about to make these – do I NEED to sweeten them? I don’t have Stevia or any other good sweetner on hand, so I’m wondering if it’s needed or only IF I want the extra sweetness???
Cheers,
Connie
They’ll taste pretty good with just the natural sweetness of the coconut milk. You should be fine with no sweetener, they probably just wont taste quite as good.
Hi Connie,
I make mine without any sweetener. I love them and find them addictive. I think it’s a personal taste thing.
Hello, how much is one fat bomb? I see the macros you added. Are those the total for all 30 servings?
The nutrition is per fat bomb!
Just made these!I had stevia powder packets, used three. Turned out great!
Awesome!! Thanks for the tip on the stevia
How many bombs equal a serving? And the calories listed,are they accurate for the bombs?
The nutrition listed is for 1 fat bomb.
Is the posted nutrition on this correct?
Native Forest Organic Classic Coconut Milk (1 can) = 700 cal
Carrington Farms Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (.75 cup) = 1560 cal
Bob’s Red Mill Unsweetened Flaked Coconut (1 cup)= 400 cal
TOTAL CALORIES = 2660
30 bombs = 2660/30 = 88.67 cals
Am I missing something? Thanks
You are right, the nutrition was not correct. Our apologies. We fixed it, however, still slightly different than what you got because we used a different coconut (shredded, not flaked) which is also linked in the ingredients! Thanks!
Thank you! I was panicking because my end of days weren’t adding up XD. Now I can have more of this.
You guys are the best, and I sincerely appreciate what you do.
These are great, although I’m having a hard time eating them as they’re frozen solid. Is that the way you guys eat this? Or do you defrost it somehow?
We drop it in our coffee or suck on them! You can also let them thaw a bit!
Hi Matt – can you tell me how many of these I would need to eat in weight/grams to fulfil my fat ratio? They are addictive I could easily quite a few… can you ever eat too much fat? Many thanks.
Ya, you can eat too much fat. Try this calculator to figure out about how much you should be eating.
How much does each of these weigh?
Not sure, didn’t weight them 🙁
So as a non coffee drinker, in what way would I use this?
For eating! It’s an easy, high fat snack. We have 1 after dinner a lot of the time.
with the canned coconut milk, should I use just the solid or the solid and liquid mixed? The cans separate and I want to make sure I am doing it right.
Lea,
Use it all!
I used it all, and mine came out like eating an ice cube! Very watered down taste as well.
I wonder if it is the brand of canned coconut milk you used. They are not created equal. Some list coconut extract as the source of coconut in the ingredients list. I haven’t tried the recipe yet, but hope to soon.
I just made them. I blended it all together to make the coconut finer. I did bulk it up a little. I got a few extra boons. This taste so good feels like I am cheating or did something wrong. How do you add pics via mobile ?
Not sure how to add pics as a comment. You didn’t do anything wrong, they’re just tasty!! Shoot us a pic on IG or facebook 🙂
Are there any other options to replace the stevia? (I hate stevia!!!)
Monk fruit extract would be good if you have it. Otherwise you could just through in your favorite type of sweetener. Add the sweetener in with the warm coconut oil if it’s powdered so it melts in!
You’re probably using low quality stevia. Use organic by NOW
Also try…adding chopped almonds and chopped chocolate for Almond Joy yummyness
I made a modified version of these with a small can of unsweetened coconut cream, 1/2 c. shredded unsweetened coconut, three packets of stevia, and 6 tblspn coconut butter instead of coconut oil. Turned out amazing. Made 15 instead of 30.
Thanks Miranda, I was trying to find out what size can of coconut milk Matt was using as mine is small too. He should say how many ounces rather than 1 can! Lol.
Toni, Miranda is substituting coconut cream instead of using coconut milk. There is a big difference. I am going to try and convert the CN cream to milk by adding bottled water. ( I never use tap ) A can of coconut cream is only 5.4 fluid ounces and a can of coconut milk is 13.5 fluid ounces. So, if you are going to use the cream instead of the milk you will have to add 8.1 ounces of bottled water. Hope this helps 🙂
I havnt been able to find liquid stevia yet, I do have the Powdered form. How much would I use of the Powdered for this recipe? A good starting point?
Are you using pure stevia powder or one of those mixes that is made to mimic sugar. If you’ve got the real stevia powder I would say you’re going to want between .75-1.5 teaspoons depending on how sweet you like them. There’s no harm in giving the mix a taste and adding more if it’s not sweet enough prior to freezing!
Stevia feels like a bitter poison to me in any food and makes me feel very ill. Have you a substitute to suggest
try monk fruit sweetener
I love monk fruit! I too can’t stand the flavor and after taste of stevia in any form either, and my body revolts. Once I saw your video comparing different sweeteners and what’s best for Keto, I’ve been using monk fruit.
Try Swerve! It’s great. Taste is very similar to sugar. It’s zero-calorie, non-glycemic and all natural. https://swervesweet.com/
Great recipe! And thanks so much for the Macro calculator. My goal with keto is continued weight loss and blazing health. LOL 🙂 I figured out that I wasn’t getting quite enough fat, and now that I am the scale’s going in the right direction. Love having target numbers to go for each day, and being able to adjust again as my body mass changes. These fat bombs are da bomb!! So convenient on the go. And…so much cooler than carrying a jar of coconut oil and a spoon in my knapsack.
Thank you for taking the time to revise this recipe so that I’ll be able to make the pudding tommarow . Thanks again . Vickie L.
Mine did the same thing and I had room temp coconut milk.
What order did you add everything? It should be coconut oil > coconut milk(at this point the whole mixture will be luke warm) > shredded coconut. I’ve improved the recipe instructions to reflect this. Thanks for the feedback and sorry they didn’t turn out for you.
One thing to note is that the coconut milk shouldn’t come right from the fridge. I did this and the coconut flakes gummed up with the coconut oil even after it was melted. The chill of the milk started returning the oil back to a solid.
I would suggest using can coconut milk
Great suggestion – thanks!
I’m a little confused about the nutrition for these fat bombs I’m using goya brand coconut milk which is a 13.5 Oz can and it states that a fourth of a cup is 100 calories total fat 9 grams total carbs 2 Total sugars 2 and protein 2… The ingredients on the can are coconut milk water potassium as a preservative and it says contains tree nuts if I add the rest of the recipe which would be the unsweetened coconut flakes and the coconut oil it is adding up to a lot more calories per fat bomb then the 80 something calories that you guys have posted please let me know if I’m reading something wrong and how I’m supposed to calculate to get these fat bombs logged they look delicious thanks you two!!
Hi there, I have calculated the macros as well and they are accurate
So what would be best, to use it room remperature?
