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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a food processor, combine the cooled sesame seeds and the sweetener. Pulse a few times until the mixture is coarsely ground.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, melt the ghee over low heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the chopped nuts with a spatula.

Step 8

Scoop small portions of the mixture using a tablespoon and roll them between your palms to form small balls (laddus).

Step 9

Place the laddus on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
