    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!

    INGREDIENTS in Keto Cheese Ball Fat Bombs

    • 8 ounces cream cheese - you can use a dairy-free cream cheese, we like Tofutti
    • 2 green onions minced
    • ¼ cup chopped pecans
    • ¼ cup minced green bell pepper
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
    • 3 ounces prosciutto

    Step-by-step cooking instructions

    1. In a medium mixing bowl combine all of the ingredients except for the prosciutto. Mix well then form into 8 balls.
    2. Place the cheese balls on a parchment-lined plate and freeze for 20 – 30 minutes until firm.
    3. Wrap the cheese balls in prosciutto then place in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until the prosciutto is crispy. Serve immediately or store refrigerated for up to one week. You can reheat in a hot skillet but they are also great cold.
