How To Make Cream Cheese Bombs
Place all the ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
Mix with an electric mixer until everything is creamy, usually about five minutes.
Place the bowl with the cream cheese mixture in the freeze for about 30 minutes until it has firmed.
Scoop the cream cheese with a ice cream scoop and place the scoops on a cookie sheet.
Refrigerate the tray for a couple hours or freeze for 30 minutes.
Once the scoops are set, transfer to an airtight container.
Top Tips For Making
- Your cream cheese bombs will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks (although they tend to get eaten way before that!).
- You can line your cookie sheet with some parchment paper to help your bombs from sticking.
- Switch up the flavor of your cream cheese bombs by omitting the cinnamon and instead adding a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, a little cocoa powder, or whatever you can think of!
What Do We Mean By “Healthy?”
Our recipes focus on real ingredients and homemade elements. We try to avoid processed flour and sugar, like white flour or white sugar. Our recipes often swap less healthy options (like a commercial, deep-friend tostada) for an easy homemade version.
Our recipes are not necessarily low fat or low calorie, and we aren’t afraid of fat or carbs! Some of our recipes will be “skinny,” low carb, keto, paleo, dairy free, grain free, gluten free, Whole30, or vegan, and they will be labeled when they qualify for any of these diets. All our recipes are easy and family friendly!
