Ingredients
Ladoos
- 1 cup pistachios shelled, unsalted
- 2/3 cup dried apricots no added sugar
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil cold-pressed, melted
Ladoos pistachio coating
- 2 tablespoon pistachios shelled, unsalted, coarsly chopped
Directions
Ladoos
- Add one cup of pistachios, apricots and melted coconut oil to a food processor or a high-speed blender
- Process the ingredients on high for two to three minutes, or until the mixture is coarse and begins to come together
- Transfer the mixture into a large ball and shape into eight equal-sized balls (ladoos)
Ladoos pistachio coating
- For a crunchy topping, roll each ladoo in chopped pistachios. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure your pistachios are as fresh as possible because they are the star of this recipe!
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender.
- I prefer to pick my soft apricots carefully since they should be soft and help bind the mixture.
- Remember to melt the coconut oil. The nuts and dried fruit will be easier to combine if you do so.
