Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon monk fruit sweetener (or substitute any Keto-friendly sweetener you prefer)

- Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, strawberry powder, vanilla extract, and sweetener. Mix thoroughly with a fork until fully combined.

Tips & Variations
- For a sweeter flavor, adjust the amount of sweetener to taste or use a flavored keto-friendly syrup instead.
- Swap freeze dried strawberries with fresh strawberries for a juicier texture, but be sure to finely chop or mash them before mixing.
- Add a sprinkle of lemon zest for a bright, citrusy twist.
- If you prefer, roll the fat bombs in crushed nuts or cocoa powder before chilling for extra texture.

FAQs
Can I use another type of sweetener instead of monk fruit?
Yes, feel free to substitute monk fruit sweetener with any keto-friendly sweetener such as erythritol, stevia, or allulose to suit your taste.
What if I don’t have freeze dried strawberries?
You can use fresh strawberries chopped very finely or pureed. Keep in mind fresh strawberries add more moisture, so the texture may be a little softer compared to using freeze dried ones.
