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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by toasting the sesame seeds. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds.
Step 2
Stir the seeds constantly for 5-7 minutes until they become golden and aromatic. Transfer them to a bowl and let them cool.
Step 3
In a food processor, combine the toasted sesame seeds, pitted Medjool dates, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Pulse the mixture until it begins to clump together and forms a coarse, sticky dough-like consistency.
Step 5
Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a small ball.
Step 6
Continue shaping the mixture into balls until all of it is used, yielding approximately 12 laddus.
Step 7
For extra texture and decoration, roll the formed laddus in additional sesame seeds or shredded coconut, if desired.
Step 8
Store the Sesame Seed Laddu in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate them for longer freshness.
