Fat bombs are low carb, keto friendly desserts, which don’t even require baking! They are usually held together by refrigerating or even by freezing sometimes. They are typically made with ingredients which are high in fat such as nut butters, coconut oil, cream cheese or avocado. Since fat bombs, as the name suggests are higher in fat, they make you feel more satisfied than other treats.
