This allergen-friendly, dairy-free fat bomb recipe is delicious! They’re made with a sunflower seed butter, hence the name: Sunshine Fat Bombs. The sun butter is mixed with coconut cream and coconut oil. Lightly sweetened, a splash of vanilla. Finished off with a layer of dark chocolate and flaked salt. What’s not to like? Similar to peanut butter cups, these nut and dairy free fat bombs are creamy and light and like a classy cousin of the peanut butter cup.

Low Carb Sweetener Guide (choose your fav for your dairy-free fat bomb)!
I use Anthony’s Goods Erythritol for this. Swerve has been giving me cramps, I think it’s the oligosaccharides which are a pre-biotic fiber. These non-digestible fibers tend to be rough on the gut.
Stevia Glycerite is another favorite of mine. It’s not as sweet as the other liquid stevia. The glycerite is thick, like syrup and about 3x as sweet as sugar. I also don’t experience and aftertaste with it.
Monk fruit is picking up popularity, but Pure Monk fruit is sooooo strong it’s hard to use. Lakanto brand markets as a monk fruit sweetener but it’s really a blend of erythritol and monk. Folks seem to really like it though.
If you don’t do low carb sweeteners I would recommend honey for these.

Step by Step Fat Bomb Recipe
Start by mixing the room temperature ingredients in a bowl. You want the coconut cream and coconut oil to be soft enough to mix in. Whisk together with the sweetener, vanilla extract and sunflower seed butter. This makes the creamiest fat bomb without any nut butter or cream cheese! Pop these in the freeze to harden.
You can skip the chocolate on these, but why would you? To make the chocolate layer, start by chopping up dark chocolate and combining it with 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Gently heat on medium or low power, then mix until smooth. Spoon the melted chocolate over the hardened sunflower seed butter cups. Freeze again until firm.
Once firm, unmold your Sunshine Fat Bombs and dig in. I love eating these after about 30 minutes in the freezer because they’re a little creamy! So dreamy without any dairy in sight! These fat bombs are your new favorite treat. You can watch the recipe video here.

Sunshine Fat Bombs (Dairy Free, Nut Free, Keto)

- Yield: 6 1x
- Category: Dessert
- Method: Freeze
- Cuisine: Keto
- Diet: Gluten Free
Description
These dairy free, nut free, fat bombs are easy to make and delicious!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sun flower seed butter, I use this one
- 1/4 cup coconut cream (from a chilled, full fat coconut milk can)
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 2 tablespoons erythritol, or preferred sweeter, see substitution guide above
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 squares dark chocolate (about 50 grams)
- Flaked salt, optional
Instructions
- Start with room temperature ingredient. If your coconut oil is solid run the jar under warm water to liquefy. Combine the sunflower seed butter, coconut cream, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, fine salt, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth. I use a small whisk.
- Distribute the mix into 6-8 slots of a silicone mold, cupcake mold etc. Tap the tray or mold on the counter to settle the mix flat in each slow. If it’s really thick use a small spoon to flatten. Place in the freeze on a flat surface.
- Chop up the chocolate and put it in a small bowl with the remaining coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds. Then stir until liquid. If it has not fully melted, give it another 10 seconds.
- Stir well and let is sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Then take the fat bombs out of the freeze and distribute the melted chocolate between them. For 6 I had about 3 tsp per fat bomb.
- Carefully put the fat bombs back in the freezer on a level surface and freeze until hard or overnight. Un-mold, finish with a sprinkle of flake salt. Store in Tupper ware in the freezer.

Oh my…these are amazeballs. I made them last night in my 6-count silicone cube tray. Going to make another batch this afternoon in a smaller cube, so they’re more like little bites/fat bombs.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog and Made Whole. ?

Whoot Whoot Thanks so much!
Nancy says
Not nut-free if there is coconut oil in it!!
Cristina says
COCONUT IS NOT A NUT!!!!!!!!! Botanically coconut is classified as a fruit, more specifically a drupe. The FDA, which is honestly a sham, considering they have steered the American people wrong in terms of diet and nutrition for years, yeah, those clowns call coconuts a nut, but they’re not. They’re a drupe.

Karen says
I’m going to assume I can spread this in a small flat dish and then cut it into squares? Or possibly I’ll just eat it right out of the dish if they don’t cut well 😉
Cristina says
Line it with parchment paper so you can lift the whole thing out of the pan and cut it 🙂
Yasmin says
Hi there!
Quick question re: the coconut cream
The ingredient list says chilled coconut cream but the recipe states tic warm up the can…do we want to work with justice the solidied cream at top and then warm it? Or warm the entire can and then measure out? Thanks!!!
Cristina says
The ingredient says list says “coconut cream (from a chilled can of full-fat coconut milk)” because you need to chill the coconut milk can so the cream separates to the top… so you would scoop that off and then let it sit out for a bit to soften 🙂
Yasmin says
Excellent! That’s what I thought but just wanted to make sure! (And all those typos in my question…??♀️ My phone is causing me hell)
Cristina says
lol girl pls I’m the queen of typos!
