Carrot Cake Laddoo
Warm-spiced no-bake laddoo with carrots, almonds, dates, and coconut — gajar halwa flavour in a 15-minute bite.
Equipment
- Food processor
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
For the laddoo
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1/2 cup finely shredded carrots (gajar)
- 1/2 cup pitted dates
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (dalchini)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (jaiphal)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or ghee
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Make the laddoo
- Process almonds and dates until a coarse paste forms.
- Add shredded carrot, cinnamon, nutmeg, coconut oil, and shredded coconut. Pulse until combined.
- Roll into 1-inch laddoo. The mix will feel softer than nut-only laddoo — that is normal.
- Chill at least 1 hour until firm.
Notes
Squeeze excess moisture from very wet grated carrot with a clean towel.
Swap nutmeg for cardamom (elaichi) for a more Indian mithai note.
Roll in chopped pistachios for colour and crunch.
Store in the fridge up to 5 days — best flavour in the first 3 days.
