Yields: Approximately 24-30 bites (depending on scoop size) Prep time: 15 minutes Chill time: 1 hour minimum (total)

Ingredients:

For the Banana Bombs:

8 ounces (1 block) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 cup heavy whipping cream, very cold
1 (1-ounce) box sugar-free pudding mix (e.g., Jell-O brand, white chocolate or vanilla flavor recommended)
½ teaspoon banana extract (ensure it’s sugar-free)

For the Chocolate Topping:

½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips (e.g., Lily’s, ChocZero)
1 teaspoon coconut oil (or MCT oil)

Equipment:

Large mixing bowl
Electric hand mixer (or stand mixer with whisk attachment)
Small cookie scoop (about 1.5-inch diameter)
Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
Large baking sheet
Small microwave-safe bowl
Fork or toothpick (for dipping)

Instructions:

Prepare Bomb Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, very cold heavy whipping cream, sugar-free pudding mix, and banana extract.
- Using an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed, beat the mixture for 3-5 minutes, or until it is well combined, thick, light, and airy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Scoop & First Freeze: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Use a small cookie scoop to portion out bite-sized pieces of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the bombs are firm enough to handle for dipping.
Prepare Chocolate Topping: While the bombs are freezing, in a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Dip in Chocolate: Remove the frozen banana bombs from the freezer. Working quickly, use a fork or toothpick to dip each frozen bomb into the melted chocolate, coating it completely or partially as desired. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Return the chocolate-dipped bombs to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Final Freeze: Place the baking sheet back into the freezer for another 30 minutes (or longer), until the chocolate coating is completely set and the bombs are solid.
Store & Enjoy! Once firm, transfer the Banana Chocolate Bombs to an airtight freezer-safe container. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. For best texture, allow them to sit out for a few minutes before enjoying.

Tips for Success:

Softened Cream Cheese & Cold Cream: Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature and your heavy cream is very cold for optimal mixing and whipping results.
Pudding Mix Flavor: While white chocolate is suggested, sugar-free vanilla pudding mix also works wonderfully and allows the banana extract to shine.
Don’t Overbeat: Be careful not to overbeat the mixture, as it can become grainy.
Work Quickly When Dipping: The melted chocolate will harden quickly once it comes into contact with the cold bombs, so work efficiently during the dipping process.
Optional Garnish: Before the chocolate sets, you can sprinkle a few keto-friendly sprinkles or a tiny bit of shredded coconut on top for extra visual appeal.
