Date & Nut Ladoo – Diwali Sweets

There is definitely something said about a healthy Indian sweet – I think this one may be one of the only few! As Indian sweets are usually laden with sugar and ghee ( purified butter). These little gems are also vegan friendly!

Dates are briiliant for adding to ladoo, as no additional sugar is needed due to the natural sweetness of data and the stickiness helps hold the structure of the ladoo.
