Dry Fruit Laddu Recipe | Healthy No Sugar Dry Fruits Ladoo with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Ladoo or Barfi Recipes are very common types of sweets and desserts in Indian Cuisine. It is typically made with flour and sugar and shaped into a ball or like a fudge before it is served. However, there are certain sweets that do not require sugar and dry fruits ladoo is one such hugely popular healthy sweet recipe from Indian cuisine.

Often these sweets are considered energy bars or energy ladoo. Well, you may consider these sugarless dry fruit ladoo as energy bars but not all energy bars can be treated as sweet though. Typically the commercially available energy bars contain more concentration of seeds like chia seeds, dates, etc. Whereas, in this ladoo, I have added almost all the dry fruits equally. Not all dry fruits are considered super healthy. For instance, excessive use of cashews can increase the cholesterol level and hence not all energy bars use it. Nevertheless, dry fruits are incomplete without cashews and hence I have added it anyway. Do try this simple way of dry fruit laddu for your next celebration or occasion and I trust everyone should love it.

Furthermore, some more related and additional tips, suggestions, and variations to the dry fruit laddu recipe. Firstly, note that there is no added sugar or jaggery in this recipe. Adding sugar or jaggery is not just for sweetness, but also for a binding agent. In this recipe, dates act as a binding agent and it has to be moist and best quality. Secondly, I have roughly chopped all the dry fruits before adding them to the ladoo mixture. It is better to roughly chop them rather than using a blender which may result in fine powder. The fine powder is not ideal for this recipe. Lastly, use dry coconut and not desiccated coconut as it helps to improve the shelf life of the ladoo. You may use fresh coconut but shelf life reduces drastically.
