Original recipe posted at LowCarbSoSimple.com as a guest post.
I’ve been following Elviira’s blog, Low Carb, So Simple for quite a while and have tried many of her super easy and delicious recipes. All of them have one thing in common - they contain no more than 5 ingredients!
I got inspired by some of her delicious and innovative creations and made these Orange & Walnut Chocolate Candies last December. In fact, I like her cherry version even more :-)
When Elviira asked me to guest post for her blog, I knew it would be a challenge to use no more than 5 ingredients. It made me realise how much effort it takes to create delicious recipes with just a few ingredients. These fat bombs are so good and perfect for portion control!

Ingredients (makes 12 fat bombs)
Instructions
- Place the cream cheese and butter cut into small pieces in to a mixing bowl. Leave at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until softened. Make sure the butter is softened, otherwise it will be difficult to mix and achieve a smooth texture. Do not microwave the butter – the mixture needs to stay firm.
- Meanwhile, wash the strawberries and remove the green parts. Place them into a bowl and mash using a fork or place in a blender for a smooth texture.
- Add the powdered Erythritol (or stevia), vanilla extract and mix well. Before you mix the strawberries with the remaining ingredients, make sure they have reached room temperature.
- Add to the bowl with softened butter and cream cheese.
- Use a hand whisk or food processor and mix until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture into small muffin silicon molds or candy molds. Place in the freezer for about 2 hours or until set.
- When done, remove the fat bombs from the molds and place into a container. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
