Whisk in all the remaining ingredients until fully incorporated.
If using a silicon fat bomb mould like I do, place it on a tray. Then, using a measuring cup or bowl with a pour spout, carefully pour the melted batter into the mould. Freeze for 4 hours or overnight until set.
Remove fat bombs from mould and store in a an airtight bag or container in the freezer. Makes 15 small fat bombs (using this silicon mould).
