INGREDIENT NOTES:
CREAM CHEESE:
- Cream cheese makes the base of these fat bombs, which gives them a smooth, creamy feel. Always use full-fat cream cheese while following a ketogenic diet because it has more beneficial fats and fewer types of fillers.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- Cheddar balances the richness of the cream cheese and adds a strong, salty flavor. You can mix the two if you wish, as mild cheddar maintains the more subdued flavor and sharp cheddar gives a powerful bite.
FRESH JALAPENO:
- The main ingredient that gives these fat bombs their distinctive kick is fresh jalapeños. Remove the white ribs and seeds of jalapenos to reduce the heat, but it will increase if they are present in jalapenos.
BACON:
- Crispy bacon offers a crunchy texture and smoky depth in contrast to the creamy foundation. It adds a delicious savory finish to each fat bomb and improves the overall flavor.
GREEN ONIONS:
- The light, fresh onion flavor of the green onions balances out the richness of the bacon and cheeses. Additionally, they add some color, which enhances the fat bombs’ appearance.
GARLIC POWDER:
- A quick and easy approach to add depth without dominating the other flavors is with garlic powder. It accentuates the delicious flavors of the bacon and cheese and mixes evenly throughout the recipe.
SMOKED PAPRIKA:
- Smoked paprika complements the delicate smoky flavor of the bacon and jalapeños. Additionally, it adds some color, which improves the fat bombs’ aesthetic appeal.
SALT & BLACK PEPPER:
- Salt & black pepper addition fixes the dish and unifies all the tastes. The jalapeños complement the little heat and sharpness of freshly ground black pepper.
