5-Minute Pistachio Apricot Ladoos (No Addedd Sugar!)

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 8 ladoos
Are you looking for a healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make snack? Look no further than these vegan pistachio apricot ladoos! These ladoos only require 3 ingredients and take 5 minutes to make. They're also gluten-free, with no added sugar, so they're ideal for people with type 2 diabetes. They're particularly delicious as Ramadan sweets, especially if you're after Iftar ideas.

Ingredients
 

Ladoos

  • 1 cup pistachios, shelled, unsalted
  • 2/3 cup dried apricots, no added sugar
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, cold-pressed, melted

Ladoos pistachio coating

  • 2 tbsp pistachios, shelled, unsalted, coarsly chopped

Instructions
 

Ladoos

  • Add 1 cup of pistachios, apricots and melted coconut oil to a food processor or a high-speed blender
  • Process the ingredients on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture is coarse and begins to come together
  • Transfer the mixture into a large ball and shape into 8 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.
