At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe – my goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.
I want each reader to walk away with a solid knowledge of each recipe, with all of the tips I’ve gathered from extensive testing of each recipe. I also answer questions my friends and family have asked about my recipes, to help everyone better understand the processes we use – and why!
Keto Fat Bomb Everything bagel
Everything bagel fat bombs are simple, delicious, and bursting with the flavor of everything bagels – minus the carbs!
Fat bombs are delicious ways to snack on a keto diet without throwing off your macros, and don’t take long to make – plus they have just a few ingredients, so you can make them anytime.
These fat bombs also make delicious mini cheeseballs for parties, regardless of if your guests are keto or not!
How to make Everything Bagel Fat Bomb
First assemble the following ingredients:
- Cream cheese (8 ounces) – Cream cheese serves as the rich, creamy base for these keto fat bombs, adding a smooth texture and slightly tangy flavor.
- Fresh chives (2 tbsp) – Chives add a mild, onion-like taste with a hint of freshness to the mix, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
- Dried dill (1?2 teaspoon) – Dried dill contributes an aromatic, slightly sweet, and citrusy note that pairs wonderfully with the creamy base.
- Black pepper (1?4 teaspoon) – Pepper introduces a gentle heat and piquancy, cutting through the richness of the cream cheese.
- Sea salt (1?4 teaspoon) – Salt is essential for balancing and intensifying the flavors of the other ingredients, making each bite more satisfying.
- Everything bagel seasoning (1?2 cup) – Everything bagel seasoning tops off these fat bombs, adding a crunchy, flavorful kick with its blend of seeds, garlic, and onion.
Use this Method
Prep. Prepare a cutting board by covering with a slice of parchment paper. Set a side.
Combine Filling. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the cream cheese, fresh chives, dried dill, salt and pepper using medium low speed.
Chill. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop 1 inch round balls onto the prepared cutting board. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 25 minutes.
Roll. Roll each ball in the everything bagel seasoning and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Tips and Tricks for Everything Bagel Fat Bombs
Keep them for later: Since fat bombs are meant to be prepared and saved for later, it is important to store them properly so you can have a filling snack anytime you need one. These fat bombs can be stored for up to a week when sealed in an airtight container in the fridge.
Use good seasoning: Your everything bagel blend matters, find my easy seasoning recipe here.
Ensure Cream Cheese is at Room Temperature: This makes it easier to blend smoothly with other ingredients, preventing lumps for a creamy texture.
Finely Chop Chives: Small, even pieces distribute the flavor more uniformly throughout the fat bombs.
Toast the Everything Bagel Seasoning: Briefly toasting the seasoning in a dry pan can enhance its flavors and add an extra crunch.
Use Freshly Ground Pepper: For a more robust flavor, opt for freshly ground black pepper over pre-ground versions.
Balance Salt Carefully: Since everything bagel seasoning already contains salt, adjust the additional salt amount accordingly to avoid overly salty fat bombs.
Chill Mixing Bowl and Utensils: This can help keep the mixture firm and easier to handle, especially in warmer environments.
Scoop with a Cookie Scoop: For uniform, neatly shaped fat bombs, use a small cookie scoop to portion out the mixture.
Refrigerate Before Rolling: Allowing the mixture to firm up in the refrigerator for about an hour makes it less sticky and easier to roll into balls.
Roll in Extra Seasoning: For an added flavor burst, roll the formed fat bombs in additional everything bagel seasoning.
Store Properly: Keep the fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their shape and freshness.
Freezing Option: For a longer shelf life, fat bombs can be frozen and then thawed for a few minutes at room temperature before serving.
Experiment with Mix-Ins: Feel free to add other keto-friendly ingredients like diced bacon or shredded cheese for variety.
Taste as You Go: Adjust the seasoning according to your preference, remembering that flavors will meld and intensify after chilling.
FAQs
Some people like to mix in smoked salmon for a bagel and lox flavor – you can add 4 oz chopped smoked salmon and add to fat bombs for even more flavor.
You can speed up the time it takes to soften cream cheese by chopping into smaller pieces as it warms.
To speed up setting time, you can also put the balls into the freezer and they will set in half the time.
Fat bombs are savory or sweet, and contain cheese, oil, butter, or nut butter as a way to load up with fat when on a keto diet. They are similar to energy balls or energy bars – but don’t have the carbs you’d get from chocolate, honey, or dates.

Keto Crackers: Look for low-carb, grain-free crackers for a crunchy base to spread the fat bombs on.
Pickled Vegetables: Tangy pickles or other pickled veggies like sauerkraut can add a zesty flavor contrast.
