Lately I’ve been getting a lot of requests to do simpler and easier recipes. Keto definitely has a lot of staple foods for me, but usually I try to post more extravagant recipes on the site. So, I think bringing some quick and easy recipes out will really help people that are just starting out, or trying to find new recipes for simple things. Fat bombs are pretty great for a quick and simple dessert or a snack midday. They’re packed full of fats and are perfect for a ketogenic diet.
Orange Creamsicle’s are something I grew up with as a kid. But, since I went keto, I hadn’t really had much of a chance to really taste one in a while. Mio had gone on sale last week and we decided to pick some up to see what other applications they had besides adding it to water. We tasted the Orange Vanilla flavor and knew right away what we were going to make: fat bombs.
If you don’t have any accessibility to Mio, you can always use a mixture of 1/2 tsp. Orange Extract, 1/4 tsp. Vanilla Extract, and liquid stevia to taste. Mio is already partially sweetened using sucralose, but I felt like a few drops of stevia really took the sweetness to a better level.
Yields 10 Coconut Orange Creamsicle Fat Bombs
The Preparation
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon orange vanilla mio
- 10 drops liquid stevia
The Execution
1. Measure out coconut oil, heavy cream, and cream cheese.
2. Use an immersion blender to blend together all of the ingredients. If you’re having a hard time blending the ingredients, you can microwave them for 30 seconds to 1 minute to soften them up.
3. Add Orange Vanilla Mio and liquid stevia into the mixture, and mix together with a spoon.
4. Spread the mixture into a silicone tray (Mine is an awesome Avenger’s Ice Cube Tray) and freeze for 2-3 hours.
5. Once hardened, remove from the silicone tray and store in the freezer. Enjoy!

I wish we had orange vanilla Mio here in Canada
i got some off ebay and shipped to canada!
This looks sooo good *Q*…. could be because I love orange cream 🙂
I do a version of this with orange sugar free jello. Dissolve with two cups of boiling water, then add a cup of sour cream and a cup of whipping cream. divide and put in the fridge. Turns into jello consistency with the taste of a creamsicle! 🙂
I made these yesterday (though I omitted the stevia). Sooooo yummy! Loved licking the bowl 😀 Thanks for the idea!
Hi Craig, so glad to have found your website. I’m day 4 Keto. I was interested in making these Orange Vanilla fat bombs and was looking over your nutrition breakdown. You list that a 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream has 3 grams of carbs. My container at home notes 1 gram carbs/1tablespoon. Given there is more than 3 tbl in a half cup, is the difference in brands of heavy whipping cream? (ps; I like your numbers better 😉 )
There may be, though sometimes brands round up, some round down. It’s a strange rule with the USDA. I’d suggest going with an organic brand, like Organic Valley 🙂
Thanks, I will. That’s a huge carb difference between the two!
One other question: On a nutrition label, does total carbs include any sugars listed below fiber? I trying to figure out if I only focus on total carbs – fiber = net carbs. (ignore the sugar number?)
As long as you’re in the US then it’s just total carbs – fiber. The sugars/fiber any anything else listed under total carbs are included in the total carb count on all US nutrition labels.
What is estimated volume in each ice cube tray pocket? I think I bought the same trays but I have a ton left over after filling them.
I’m not sure what the exact volume was per pocket on these as it was variable per each mold. You shouldn’t have a problem though, you could make extras and just divide the macros out by the total calorie/fat/carb/protein counts.

I just made these for the first time. I could eat the whole batch, they are that tasty. Every recipe I’ve tried from your site has been delicious. Thanks for all the great recipes.
Dear Craig , I love , love your website and your recepies! I’m glad I found your info , thanks a lot:) I have a question, how can I replace a cream cheese? I’m allergic to sorbitol. Cream cheese has it. Thanks again
Hey Lili – try to find an organic cream cheese (like Organic Valley) – this should not have any sorbitol in it. Sorbitol is a sweetener, usually used in low-fat cream cheeses/spreads. The blocks of cream cheese that are full fat should not contain any. Thanks for the kind comments!
Thanks a lot , I’ll try to find in Canada .
Hope you’re successful – I know Canada can be difficult with finding some ingredients.
I am not a fan of coconut, do you suggest any other oil?
You can use any oil you’d like. Probably butter if you don’t like the taste of coconut. You can also get refined coconut oil that will not have the taste.
hi just want to say that the orange vanilla mio link on your recipe directs me to a s.o.u.l sisters album. is it a mistake?
Very strange, I’m not sure why that happened (they must have changed the link). I’ve updated it – sorry about that!
I want to make this, but I can’t use liquid stevia. Do you think Swerve would work as a replacement? Though I don’t know how much I should use…
Sure! I would use powdered Swerve if possible to avoid any texture issues (sometimes it gets gritty.) Start with 1/4 to 1/2 a teaspoon and increase as needed.
I don’t have any kind of immersion blender. Do you think this would turn out OK if mixed by hand? Also, liquid sucralose instead of stevia wouldn’t make a difference right? Thank you
The orange vanilla mio is pretty amazing as it is, can’t wait to try these
You could also use a little bit of sugar free orange Jello mix instead of stevia to sweeten it up and give it a little extra orange colouring.
Can the mio be replaced by some food grade orange essential oil and a bit of vanilla or something like that?
Sure!
I just made these and am really impressed! Many of the recipes I have tried from your site have found their way into the “Mom, you can make that a lot” file..
Love your recipes. However, the orange flavoring you are using is toxic. Please recommend something healthy we can use instead. Thanks
You could use orange and vanilla extract instead if you’d like!
recommendations other than Mio? Ive read the ingredients in Mio, and I’m a little grossed out.
You could use extracts instead if you prefer!
