      As noted in the recipe card, the recipe yields 8 bombs. The listed nutritional information is per serving which would be 1 fat bomb. Hope that helps.

    These are “THE BOMB!” I just added a lil shredded cheddar cheese to each pile of bacon bits to roll them in! Delicious! Thank you

    So 1 fat bomb is over 300 calories?

    Very good!
    Next time I’d use more chicken, perhaps 25%. And I’d add some Cayenne, I think more hot sauce might make the cheese too soft. I wish there were something to add to the mix to make the balls more firm. I used fresh parsley and fresh chives instead of dry.

    I used Hidden Valley Ranch mix. I didn’t have Franks Hot Sauce so I used Tapatio hot sauce. So yummy! Very addicting. One for mid-morning snack keeps me satiated for hours.

    Very good recipe, thank you, quite tasty
    I adjusted your recipe to below and it tastes just like Buffalo chicken.
    But with my adjustments my fat bombs came out too big, hence too many calories each . I had added more chicken (one 12 oz bag vs 8 oz) plus 8 oz Monterey Jack shredded and 4 oz blue cheese crumbles, so that naturally increased calories and protein. it ended up making 16 large balls, 70 grams. I think next time instead I’ll use my adjustments, lessen chicken back to 8 oz, and make 32 balls of 35 grams each,, = 142 calories each, .9 net carbs, 9.2 protein, 10.5 fat.
    That way it will meet my keto macros of 70% fat, 25% protein, 5% carbs.
    So my questions :
    -are can you freeze these?
    -if can’t freeze, how long last in fridge?
    -Can you make balls and then heat them up in low oven @ 350 degrees to eat warm or would it melt all over into a blob? Maybe if I put each ball in a muffin cup? I will try

    p.s. I tried to import tour recipe via Crab Manager via web link in Import recipe but it kept giving me a web error

      Hi Mary – so glad you like these! Yes, you can freeze them and thaw in the refrigerator or they’ll keep for 4-5 days in the refrigerator. We haven’t tried heating them, they would just melt – could be delicious though, sort of like buffalo chicken dip!

    One more comment, I experimented. took the for,Ed balls, dipped in egg, rolled in almond flour, then rolled in Pork King Good pork rind crumbs (from Netrition)….fried them in avocado oil at 380. Crispy texture on outside burst into delicious flavor inside when you bit them, dipped in Avocado ranch. This was awesome!

These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally featured in our cookbook and now that Cast Iron Keto is focused on plant-based + low-carb recipes, we thought it deserved a permanent place on the website.⁠
⁠
If you have our cookbook, have you tried this recipe out of the Meatless Monday chapter? If not, we hope you do, even if you’re more omnivore than plant-based. Why? Because they are simply delicious!⁠
⁠
The combination of the crumbled walnuts, tender cauliflower, and smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce create a filling that, while it resembles ground beef, is much more layered in flavors.⁠
⁠
The toppings are completely up to you, these are just our go-to’s. Some type of creamy sauce would be delicious too. Maybe a bit of dairy-free (or regular) sour cream mixed with a bit of extra chipotle in adobo? Yes, that sounds just perfect. You can grab the recipe link in our bio!⁠
