Rava Ladoo (Semolina Fudge) – Diwali Sweets

Rava is basically Semolina in gujurati/indian, and I’ve made a sweet fruity nut ball using all vegan friendly ingredients. I’ve even now sourced some vegan ghee called ‘Better Ghee’. I can’t find a website link, however I did post a photo on my Instagram a few weeks ago.
