RecipeIngredients
  • 2 cups raw, unsalted cashew nuts
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ½ cup hot water
  • 3-4 drops of rose essence (or ¼ tsp powdered cardamom)
  • ½ cup honey
  • About ½ cup finely shredded coconut for coating
RecipeInstructions
  1. In a stainless steel pan, lightly roast cashew nuts over low to medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. (they should not change color). Let it cool and then grind the roasted cashew nuts in a food processor in batches until you get a mixture that is mostly fine with some coarse particles. Add this to a mixing bowl. To this add the coconut flour and sea salt. Mix using a spatula and then add the hot water. Mix to get a wet dough. Let it cool for a few seconds and then add the rose essence (or cardamom) and the honey. Use a spatula and mix to form a dough.
  2. Next using your hands form small balls or ladoos from this dough.
  3. Once all the ladoos are made, add the shredded coconut to a plate. Roll the ladoos in the shredded coconut to coat them.
  4. Store ladoos in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. You can also freeze them.
Notes
Use finely shredded coconut for the outer coating. If you cannot find finely shredded coconut, you can pulse your shredded coconut in the food processor for getting a finer shred.
