Ingredients

• 200 grams white sesame seeds
• 150 grams medjool dates, pitted
• 50 grams unsweetened desiccated coconut
• 2 tablespoons raw honey
• 1 tablespoon ghee
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by toasting the sesame seeds: Place a large, dry skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds to the pan. Stir constantly for about 5-7 minutes until the seeds are golden and aromatic. Remove from heat and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a food processor, add the cooled sesame seeds, pitted dates, and desiccated coconut. Process until the mixture is well combined and starts to clump together. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the ghee over low heat. Add the raw honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the melted ghee. Stir until everything is well combined and slightly warm.

Step 4

Pour the honey-ghee mixture into the food processor with the sesame seed mixture. Pulse the food processor a few times until the liquids are fully incorporated, and the mixture becomes sticky.

Step 5

Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and, using your hands, roll it into small balls or 'laddu' shape. If the mixture is too sticky to handle, lightly grease your palms with a little ghee.

Step 6

Place the formed laddus onto a plate or tray. Once all the mixture is used up, allow the laddus to set at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Store the laddus in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerated for longer shelf life.
