Heat a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet over low-medium heat and dry roast the sesame seeds until they are golden and aromatic, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Transfer the roasted sesame seeds to a plate and let them cool.
In the same pan, dry roast the cashews and almonds for about 2 minutes until they turn lightly golden. Remove from heat and let them cool as well.
Add the roasted sesame seeds, cashews, and almonds to a food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse a few times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the pitted dates and cardamom powder to the food processor. Blend everything together until the mixture turns sticky and begins to clump together. If needed, scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure even blending.
Scoop out small portions of the mixture (about 1-2 tablespoons each) and roll them into smooth, round laddus using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Store the laddus in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate for longer shelf life. Enjoy as a healthy, sugar-free snack or dessert!
