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)
Directions
Step 1
In a large non-stick pan or skillet, melt the ghee over low heat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Once slightly cooled, but still warm, stir in the powdered erythritol and cardamom powder. Mix well to ensure the sweetener is evenly distributed.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
If desired, roll the laddoos in unsweetened shredded coconut for additional flavor and texture.
Step 9
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.
