DRY FRUITS LADOO – Dates and Nuts Laddu

DRY FRUITS LADOO – Dates and Nuts Laddu

Ladoo/Laddu is a popular sweet / Dessert in India. Different kind of ladoos are available. I have already posted Moong Dal ladoo recipe made with split yellow moong dal and sugar. Today I am posting a Sugar Free sweet recipe. All ingredients used here are healthy and nutritious.

Most of the sweets / desserts are made using sugar, jaggery or other sweetener. Here we are using Dates as sweetener and also as a binding agent. You can use any dry nuts for this laddu. This is a healthy snack for children. Eating this ladoo daily is easy when compared to eat dates, walnuts, pistachios, almonds,etc. at the same time. Simply this ladoo is made of all goodies. You can pack this in snack box for children, hubby or for yourself. Always it is better to have a homemade yummy and healthy snack.
