Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup White sesame seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Erythritol or keto sweetener of choice
- 3 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Place the white sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them gently while stirring continuously until they start to turn golden brown and release a nutty aroma. Transfer to a bowl and let them cool.
In the same skillet, lightly toast the unsweetened shredded coconut for about 2-3 minutes. Be sure not to over-toast it. Once done, add it to the bowl with the sesame seeds.
Add almond flour to the same skillet and lightly toast for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Once it starts to give a light aroma, transfer it to the sesame and coconut mixture.
In the empty skillet, heat ghee or coconut oil until melted. Stir in the erythritol or chosen keto sweetener and cook for a minute until slightly melted or dissolved.
Add cardamom powder and vanilla extract to the ghee and sweetener mix. Stir well to combine.
Now, pour the melted ghee mixture over the toasted sesame seed, coconut, and almond flour mixture. If using, add chopped nuts at this stage. Mix everything thoroughly until it comes together into a thick dough-like consistency.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly so it's easier to handle. Take small portions and roll them between your palms to form small, round laddu balls.
Place the formed laddus on a plate and let them cool completely. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for a week or up to a month if refrigerated.
