Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 100 grams Ghee
- 50 grams Granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Almonds, chopped
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee over low heat.
Once the ghee is melted, add the almond flour to the pan.
Stir continuously using a spatula to ensure the almond flour is evenly roasted and does not burn. This should take approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the almond flour turns golden and releases a nutty aroma.
Add the salt and granulated erythritol to the roasted almond flour, stirring well to combine.
Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes over low heat, ensuring everything is well-mixed.
Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Add the cardamom powder and half of the chopped pistachios and almonds (reserving the rest for garnish) to the mixture and mix thoroughly.
While the mixture is still warm, divide it into 12 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a round ball, gently pressing and rolling between your palms.
Roll each laddoo in the reserved chopped pistachios and almonds to evenly coat.
Allow the laddoos to cool completely at room temperature before serving or storing in an airtight container.
