Jump to Recipe

Pistachio Coconut Ladoo is made with dry roasted pistachios, coconut, and cashews that are blended with edible roses, rose water, and cardamom.
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!

3. Now add the cashews and dry roast for a couple of minutes. Remove from the stove and set aside.
