Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup White sesame seeds
- 15 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Begin by toasting the sesame seeds. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds.
Stir the seeds constantly for 5-7 minutes until they become golden and aromatic. Transfer them to a bowl and let them cool.
In a food processor, combine the toasted sesame seeds, pitted Medjool dates, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and a pinch of salt.
Pulse the mixture until it begins to clump together and forms a coarse, sticky dough-like consistency.
Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a small ball.
Continue shaping the mixture into balls until all of it is used, yielding approximately 12 laddus.
For extra texture and decoration, roll the formed laddus in additional sesame seeds or shredded coconut, if desired.
Store the Sesame Seed Laddu in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate them for longer freshness.
