- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon monk fruit sweetener or any keto-friendly sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Step 1: Soften the cream cheese by allowing it to come to room temperature naturally or microwaving it for about 30 seconds until soft and easy to mix.

- Step 6: Once set, transfer the fat bombs to a zip-top bag or glass container and store them in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to enjoy.
