Why Chocolate MCT Fat Bombs?
At Fusion Flavours, we’re all about re-imagining classic recipes with a modern twist. These fat bombs are a keto staple, designed to keep you satisfied and fueled while tantalizing your taste buds. The star ingredient, MCT oil, brings a host of benefits:
- Keto Powerhouse: MCT oil is a medium-chain triglyceride that’s rapidly converted into ketones, giving you a quick energy boost while supporting ketosis.
- Silky Texture: It blends seamlessly with coconut oil and cocoa, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
- Versatile Flavour: Neutral yet luxurious, MCT oil lets the deep chocolate notes shine, with room for your own fusion-inspired tweaks (think a hint of chili or orange zest!).
Whether you’re new to keto or a seasoned pro, these fat bombs are easy to whip up, store beautifully, and deliver a decadent treat that feels like a cheat day—without derailing your goals.
The Recipe: Chocolate MCT Fat Bombs
Makes: ~12 fat bombs
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Chill Time: 20-30 minutes
Total Time: ~40 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 2 tbsp MCT oil (look for C8 for maximum keto benefits)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp erythritol (or your favorite keto sweetener, adjusted to taste)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional Fusion Flair: 1/4 cup chopped pecans, unsweetened shredded coconut, macadamia nuts or a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick.
Instructions
- Melt the Base: In a small saucepan over low heat (or a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second bursts), gently melt the coconut oil and MCT oil together until fully liquid. Stir to combine.
- Create the Chocolate Magic: Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder, erythritol, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth and glossy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Add Your Fusion Twist: Fold in optional mix-ins like chopped pecans for crunch, shredded coconut for texture, or a dash of cayenne for a bold, unexpected heat that screams Fusion Flavours.
- Mold the Bombs: Pour the mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray, filling each slot about 1-2 tbsp full. Silicone molds make for easy pop-out and cute shapes!
- Chill & Set: Pop the tray into the fridge or freezer for 20-30 minutes until the fat bombs are solid.
- Enjoy & Store: Gently pop the fat bombs out of the molds. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks (if they last that long!).
Pro Tips
- Sweetener Swap: Not a fan of erythritol? Try monk fruit or stevia for a different keto-friendly sweetness profile.
- Flavour Fusion: Experiment with a drop of peppermint extract for a cool twist or orange zest for a citrusy zing—perfect for our fusion-loving community!
- Smooth Operator: For an ultra-creamy texture, blend the mixture in a high-speed blender before pouring into molds.
