Then, when you beat them together, you’ll want to beat them until they are combined and creamy. After adding the rest of the ingredients, beat your mixture until all the ingredients are combined and your mixture is smooth. Use a spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of your bowl if needed. Alternately, if you’d like, you can make these keto bombs in a blender.
