Pimento Cream Cheese Fat Bombs
Pimento Cream Cheese Fat Bombs are nutty, cheesy, and addictive! These little cheesy balls only take a few minutes to prep and make a decadent low-carb snack.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup cream cheese, (softened)
- 1 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese, (grated)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, (grated)
- 1 ½ tablespoon mayonnaise
- 3 ½ tablespoon chopped pimentos, (drained)
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, (ground)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 cup toasted pecans, (chopped)
Instructions
- Grate the extra sharp and sharp cheddar cheese and add to a small food processor or a large mixing bowl.
- Blot the pimentos dry and add to the bowl. If using a food processor, reserve 1 tablespoon of pimentos.
- Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, onion powder, pepper, salt, cider vinegar, and hot sauce. If using a food processor, process until smooth, then stir in the remaining 1 tbsp of pimentos. If using a bowl, stir the mixture until well-combined.
- Place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Spread the chopped pecans on a small plate.
- Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball.
- Roll the ball in the chopped pecans until covered.
- Repeat until you’ve used all of the pimento cheese mixture. You should end up with about 8 balls.
Notes
This recipe makes 8 fat bombs. Each serving is 1 fat bomb.
Make sure to grate your own cheddar. Pre-grated cheddar is drier and will not give you the same creamy texture.
These fat bombs can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
When you're ready to enjoy one, I recommend letting it sit out at room temperature for about 10 minutes before eating.
