Makes 12 fat bombs / Prep time: 10 minutes, plus 1 hour chilling time
Banana-flavored desserts are a strange combination of exotic and comforting, as well as undeniably delicious. Fat bombs fall into savory or sweet categories, with these being on the sweeter side, but you can reduce the amount of sweetener if you want a less dessert-like experience. A sprinkling of shredded toasted coconut would
top off these fat bombs beautifully.
1 & ¼ cups cream cheese, at room temperature
¾ cup heavy (whipping) cream
1 tablespoon pure banana extract
6 drops liquid stevia
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, heavy cream, banana extract, and stevia until smooth and very thick, about 5 minutes.
3. Gently spoon the mixture onto the baking sheet in mounds, leaving some space between each mound, and place the baking sheet in the refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour.
4. Store the fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up
to 1 week.
A CLOSER LOOK
Banana extract does have alcohol in it, but there is very little in each fat bomb, so they can be used on occasion for treats. You can use vanilla
extract or almond extract, as well.
