Keto Cheese Ball Fat Bombs with Crispy Prosciutto

These Keto Cheese Ball Fat Bombs are the perfect little bite! Wrapped in prosciutto and fried until crisp they're perfect for an easy appetizer or mid-day snack!

These Keto Cheese Ball Fat Bombs with crispy prosciutto are literally, the bomb. These little bites of deliciousness make a perfect snack or appetizer no matter the occasion. Black tie event? They’re perfect. Chilling on the couch watching the big game in sweatpants? Equally as perfect.

Speaking from experience, if there’s a party going on you can find us near the cheese ball. We have several reasons, first off is that they're obviously delicious. There really isn’t an argument to be made against them other than the typical tastebud delivery vessel is a cracker of some sort, which typically is too high in carbs for us ketonians.

Enter the bite-sized cheese ball, no cracker required. Just pop it straight into your mouth, yum!

These are fantastic with the crispy prosciutto but if you'd like, you can serve them without crisping the prosciutto too, they're delicious either way.

If you're a cheese ball fan like us you should try our Pepper Jack Cheese Ball, our Keto Buffalo Chicken Savory Fat Bombs, and our Keto Breakfast Fat Bombs. For the Pepper Jack Cheese Ball, we love serving it with Flackers, a low-carb cracker. The other two are just like this recipe, no cracker required 😉

Let's get to some specifics!
