Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Line your silicone molds with paper liners if not using non-stick silicone, or lightly grease them with a small amount of coconut oil to ensure easy removal later.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt the coconut oil until just liquefied. Coconut oil melts at about 24°C (76°F), so this won't take long - be careful not to overheat it as this can affect both flavor and nutritional properties.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Remove the saucepan from heat and add the almond butter, stirring until completely smooth and well incorporated. The residual heat will help melt the almond butter to create a silky consistency. If your almond butter is particularly stiff, you may need to return to very low heat briefly.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Add the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, MCT oil (if using), and sea salt to the mixture. Whisk thoroughly until the sweetener has completely dissolved and no graininess remains. Using powdered rather than granular sweetener is crucial for achieving a smooth texture.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Sift the cocoa powder into the mixture to prevent any lumps, then stir until fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy and uniform in color. The mixture should be pourable but thick - similar to a ganache consistency.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Carefully pour the mixture into your prepared molds, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. Gently tap the mold on the counter a few times to release any trapped air bubbles, which helps create a smoother final texture.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of additional sea salt on top of each fat bomb for a delicious sweet-salty contrast that enhances the almond flavor.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>Transfer the molds to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until completely set. The coconut oil will solidify, giving the fat bombs their firm, fudge-like texture.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 9</h4>Once fully set, carefully pop each fat bomb out of the mold. If they're sticking slightly, briefly run the bottom of the mold under warm water to help release them.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 10</h4>Store your fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze them for up to 3 months. If freezing, separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Let them thaw for about 5-10 minutes before enjoying for the best melt-in-your-mouth texture.</li></ol>
