Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup White sesame seeds
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup Ghee
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, or cashews)
Instructions
In a large, dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until they become golden brown and fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Transfer the toasted seeds to a bowl and let them cool.
In the same skillet, lightly toast the almond flour just until it's fragrant and begins to change color, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a food processor, combine the cooled sesame seeds and the sweetener. Pulse a few times until the mixture is coarsely ground.
Add the almond flour, shredded coconut, and cardamom powder to the processor and blend everything together until the mixture is well combined and slightly sticky.
In a small saucepan, melt the ghee over low heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
Pour the melted ghee mixture into the processor with the dry ingredients, and pulse until the mixture starts to hold together. If too dry, add more melted ghee a teaspoon at a time.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the chopped nuts with a spatula.
Scoop small portions of the mixture using a tablespoon and roll them between your palms to form small balls (laddus).
Place the laddus on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
