Golden Brown Butter Macadamia Nut Fat Bombs
If there is one secret weapon in a Keto dieter's arsenal that feels like cheating but is actually pure fuel, it is the fat bomb. But we are not making just any fat bomb today; we are elevating the game with the nutty, caramelized complexity of brown butter. These Brown Butter Macadamia Nut Fat Bombs are the definition of high-fat luxury. By taking the extra five minutes to brown the butter, we unlock a depth of flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy richness of macadamia nuts. Macadamias are the king of keto nuts, boasting the highest fat-to-carb ratio, making them essential for maintaining ketosis. Combined with grass-fed butter and a touch of cream cheese for stability, these treats provide a massive hit of healthy monounsaturated fats. They are perfect for silencing cravings, breaking a fast, or simply getting your macros in check without spiking your insulin. This is low-carb indulgence at its finest.
The Masterplan
Start by making the brown butter. Place the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter foams and the milk solids at the bottom turn a golden amber color. It should smell nutty and toasted. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
Pour the browned butter into a heat-safe bowl and let it cool down to room temperature. It should remain liquid but not be piping hot.
In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sweetener until fluffy and smooth.
Slowly pour the cooled brown butter and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture while beating on low speed until fully incorporated and creamy.
Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and the sea salt with a spatula.
Spoon the batter into silicone candy molds or a mini muffin tin. If using a muffin tin, use liners.
Place the molds in the freezer for at least 30 to 40 minutes until completely set.
Pop them out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator (for a softer texture) or freezer (for a firm bite).
