Follow The Directions
01
Step
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared sheet. (2 minutes)
02
Step
Bake in the preheated oven until the bacon is beautifully browned and crispy, approximately 15 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat. (15 minutes)
03
Step
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, butter, and Cheddar cheese. Beat until smooth and well combined. (3 minutes)
04
Step
Add the lime zest and minced garlic to the cheese mixture. Gently fold in the finely chopped serrano peppers. (2 minutes)
05
Step
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture until it's firm enough to handle, about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to roll into balls. (10 minutes)
06
Step
Once chilled, divide the cream cheese mixture into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion between your palms to form a smooth ball. (5 minutes)
07
Step
Roughly chop the crispy bacon and combine it with the chopped cilantro in a separate bowl. (2 minutes)
08
Step
Roll each fat bomb in the bacon-cilantro mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently press the mixture onto the surface of the balls so it adheres well. (5 minutes)
09
Step
Serve the Bacon and Cheese Fat Bombs cold for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for later!
For a smoky flavor, use applewood smoked bacon.
Adjust the amount of serrano pepper to your desired level of spiciness. Remember, you can always add more, but you can't take it away!
If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute with 1 tablespoon of dried cilantro, but fresh is always best.
These fat bombs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

May 4, 2025I found them a little too spicy, so I only used one serrano pepper the second time I made them, and they were perfect for my taste.
