<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Prepare your silicone moulds by placing them on a flat, freezer-safe tray. If you don't have silicone moulds, line a small baking dish with parchment paper – you'll cut the mixture into squares later.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the coconut oil until just melted. Be careful not to let it get hot – we want it just barely liquefied to prevent the peanut butter from cooking. The melting point of coconut oil is around 24°C, so this happens quickly.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Add the natural peanut butter to the melted coconut oil, stirring continuously until completely incorporated and smooth. Natural peanut butter often separates, so ensure you've stirred it well before measuring. The oils in both ingredients help create the perfect fat-rich consistency essential for keto treats.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Remove the pan from heat and whisk in the powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt until fully dissolved. The powdered form of sweetener is crucial here as granular varieties would create an unpleasant grainy texture. The mixture should be completely smooth and glossy.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>If using shredded coconut, fold it in now for added texture and flavor. The coconut not only adds a pleasant chew but also contributes healthy fats that complement the keto profile.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Carefully pour the mixture into your prepared moulds, filling each cavity about ¾ full. If using a baking dish, pour the entire mixture in, keeping the depth around 1.5-2cm for perfect bite-sized pieces.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Transfer to the freezer and allow to set for at least 2 hours. The rapid cooling helps achieve that perfect fudge-like texture by creating small fat crystals rather than large ones, which would make the fat bombs grainy.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>Once completely firm, pop the fat bombs out of the moulds (or cut into squares if using a baking dish). For the best texture and flavor experience, let them sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before enjoying – this allows the outside to soften ever so slightly while maintaining that satisfying firm center.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 9</h4>Store any remaining fat bombs in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. These make perfect grab-and-go keto snacks whenever you need a quick energy boost or a satisfying treat. The high fat content means they soften quickly at room temperature, so enjoy them within 5-10 minutes of removing from the freezer.</li></ol>
