    Pistachio Coconut Ladoo

    Today is Holi and around the holidays I like making both indulgent and healthy-ish desserts. 

    This Pistachio Coconut Ladoo is made with just 1 tablespoon of ghee and it's scrumptious. It goes perfectly with a cup of tea.

    What is a Pistachio Coconut Ladoo?

    Pistachio Coconut Ladoo is a healthy-ish and fragrant Indian-inspired dessert.

    The nuts and coconut are dry roasted, then the mixture is lightly roasted with ghee and blended with your fragrant Indian flavors - cardamom, rose water, and edible roses. The concoction is delicious and a healthy-ish treat that pairs well with a cup of tea.

    Can I make this recipe vegan, gluten-free?

    This recipe can be made vegan. You can replace ghee with coconut oil.

    This recipe is already gluten-free.

    Where can I find Edible Rose Petals?

    Amazon is your friend. 🙂 

    There are a couple of brands that I recommend. I used this brand, but I also love Suncore Foods brand.

    Tips on making Pistachio Coconut Ladoo:

    • Dry saute the pistachio, cashews, and coconut separately as they all cook at different times.
    • Lightly saute the nuts and coconut in ghee.
    • Pulse the nuts along with edible rose and spices.
    • Roll into round ladoos. 
    • Refrigerate and enjoy!
