There’s something so nostalgic about the bright, zesty flavor of lemon around springtime—especially as Easter approaches. Whether it’s a memory of lemon bars at family gatherings or that one lemony dessert we always reached for at potlucks, the tangy-sweet combination hits a perfect note. We wanted to recreate that same comfort but in a way that aligns with our keto lifestyle—and these Lemon Cheesecake Fat Bombs with Coconut Crust absolutely deliver.
What we love most about this recipe is how easy it is to whip up ahead of time, and yet it still feels special enough to place at the center of a holiday spread. They’re rich and creamy like cheesecake, have a tart lemon kick that balances the sweetness, and the coconut crust adds the perfect nutty base with a little chew.
These little bites are no-bake and freezer-friendly, which makes them a low-stress win for Easter brunches, dessert tables, or even tucked into little paper cups in Easter baskets. They’re rich in healthy fats from coconut and cream cheese, with no added sugar and a fiber boost to help keep blood sugar stable.
And honestly? We’d eat them year-round. But they feel particularly perfect this time of year—refreshing, cheerful, and just indulgent enough to satisfy without knocking us out of ketosis. Let’s make a batch.
