Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Ghee (clarified butter)
- 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol (or keto sweetener of choice)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, or walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large non-stick pan or skillet, melt the ghee over low heat.
Add the almond flour to the pan and roast it on medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Roast for about 6-8 minutes until the flour turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma.
Add the coconut flour to the pan and continue roasting for another 2-3 minutes. Coconut flour tends to absorb moisture, so stir thoroughly to combine.
Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Once slightly cooled, but still warm, stir in the powdered erythritol and cardamom powder. Mix well to ensure the sweetener is evenly distributed.
Add the chopped nuts and mix again to combine. Adjust the consistency by adding a little more ghee if needed to help shape the laddoos.
While the mixture is still warm, take portions of it and roll into small, bite-sized balls (approximately 1-1.5 inches in diameter) using your hands.
If desired, roll the laddoos in unsweetened shredded coconut for additional flavor and texture.
Allow the laddoos to cool completely and firm up before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
