🛒 Grocery List (Makes 12 Bombs)

Main Players

• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (the crispy hero!)
• ½ cup coconut oil (makes it firm when cold)
• ¼ cup coconut butter (for creaminess)

Flavor Boosters

• 2 tbsp keto sweetener (erythritol works best)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt (makes flavors pop!)

Optional Crunch

• 2 tbsp chopped almonds
• 1 tsp cocoa powder (chocolate lovers, this is for you!)

🧰 Tools You’ll Need

• Medium mixing bowl
• Tablespoon measure
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper

👩🍳 Let’s Make Magic: 6 Easy Steps

1. Mix It Up

In your bowl, combine:

• Shredded coconut
• Melted coconut oil
• Coconut butter
• Sweetener and vanilla

Pro Tip: If your mixture looks dry, add 1 tsp water. Too wet? More shredded coconut!

2. Shape Your Bombs

Roll into 12 balls (about 1 tbsp each). For extra crispiness:

• Roll in extra shredded coconut
• Press an almond piece in the center

3. Chill Out

Place on parchment-lined sheet. Freeze for 1 hour until firm.

4. Chocolate Dip (Optional)

Melt ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips with 1 tsp coconut oil. Dip bombs halfway.

5. Final Chill

Freeze dipped bombs 10 more minutes.

6. Store Smart

Keep in airtight container in fridge for 2 weeks or freezer for 1 month.

🌈 5 Flavor Twists to Try

1. Tropical Vibes: Add 1 tsp lime zest + crushed macadamia nuts
2. Cookie Dough: Mix in 1 tbsp almond flour + keto chocolate chips
3. Spiced Chai: ½ tsp cinnamon + pinch of cardamom
4. Mocha Madness: 1 tsp instant coffee + cocoa powder
5. Berry Blast: Fold in freeze-dried raspberry pieces

My neighbor’s favorite? The mocha version – she says it’s like “espresso in a bite”!

❄️ Storage Pro Tips

• Fridge: Layer between parchment paper
• Freezer: Use within 1 month for best texture
• Thawing: Let sit at room temp 5 minutes before eating
