Pumpkin Pie Keto Fat Bombs
Description
This recipe toasts pecan halves briefly to bring out nutty aroma, then combines mascarpone, cream cheese, melted butter, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, Swerve confectioners sugar, and salt into a whipped mixture. The mixture is poured into mini muffin silicone liners and each topped with a halved toasted pecan pressed lightly into the surface. The fat bombs freeze until firm and can be stored chilled or frozen for future enjoyment.
The combination of cream cheese and mascarpone creates a smooth, rich base that carries the spiced pumpkin flavor complemented by pecan crunch. Freezing firms the fat bombs into convenient bite-sized portions suitable for keto snacks or dessert substitutions. The pumpkin pie spice adds warmth and aroma without overpowering the delicate pumpkin and cheese flavors.
These fat bombs can be made without mascarpone by using extra cream cheese without loss of taste. The pecans can be omitted for nut allergy considerations. Silicone molds or mini muffin pans aid formation of even shapes. Toasting the pecans enhances their texture and flavor on top. The recipe yields a creamy, spiced, mildly sweet keto treat.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup mascarpone cheese
- ½ cup butter grass-fed, unsalted, melted
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 16 pecan halves
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ cup Swerve Confectioners Sugar
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F. Add the whole pecans to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat. Toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes and set aside.
- Add the mascarpone and cream cheese to a bowl whip up using a hand mixer. Add the remaining ingredients and continue mixing until well combined.
- Pour into mini muffin silicone liners (or ice cube tray) and top each with one halved pecan. Press down gently so the pecan sticks. Freeze for 1 hour, or until set. Store in the fridge or freezer and enjoy!
Notes
- If mascarpone cheese is not available, substitute with cream cheese for similar taste and texture.
- Omit roasted pecans if you have nut allergies; the fat bombs will still taste good.
- If silicone mini muffin molds are unavailable, use a mini muffin pan for shaping.
