Rosa’s Strawberry Fat Bombs

Opti’s Kitchen | Keto / HFLC | No-Bake | Makes ~20 balls (1 tablespoon each)

These rich, creamy strawberry-coconut fat bombs are a favorite in our house — and Rosa gives them two paws up! Perfect for the fridge or freezer as a quick snack, dessert, or ice-cream-style treat.

Ingredients

•  1 cup freeze-dried strawberries

•  1 cup macadamia nuts

•  1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

•  8 oz (1 block) cream cheese, softened

•  1 tsp powdered monk fruit extract (or to taste)

•  1 tsp vanilla extract

•  1 tsp strawberry extract

Instructions

1.  Add the freeze-dried strawberries, macadamia nuts, and shredded coconut to a food processor. Pulse until you have coarse crumbs (leave some texture — don’t turn it into flour).

2.  Remove about half of the crumb mixture and set it aside in a shallow bowl or plate — this will be your coating.

3.  To the remaining crumbs in the food processor, add the softened cream cheese, monk fruit powder, vanilla extract, and strawberry extract. Blitz until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

4.  Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon portions and roll into balls (lightly dampen your hands if the mixture is sticky).

5.  Roll each ball in the reserved crumb coating until completely covered.

6.  Place the finished balls in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for a creamy treat, or the freezer for a firmer, ice-cream-like bite.

Storage: Keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for months.

Opti’s Notes: These are super customizable! Try adding a handful of extra blitzed macadamias for more crunch, or swap the strawberry extract for pineapple for a tropical twist. They travel great for on-the-go snacks and are filling enough to tame any sweet craving without derailing your HFLC goals.
