Whether you’re looking for energy-boosting recipes for Ramadan or simply want to experiment with sugar-free desserts, try this date-and-nut laddoo recipe. Perfect for both suroor (the morning meal) and iftar (the evening feast) during Ramadan, this laddoo is naturally sweet thanks to the addition of dates. When choosing dates, opt for Medjool or Deglet Noor varieties. They are naturally sweet and bind well. The dates are mixed with roasted nuts, turning this sweet treat into a power-packed snack that’s easy to eat on the go. You can swap ghee with coconut oil for a vegan version. This date-and-nut laddoo recipe is also highly customisable – add roasted sesame seeds for extra crunch, or unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist. For Ramadan, the current recipe lists desiccated coconut as an optional addition. It enhances the texture and adds a slight sweetness to the laddoo. The best part about this date-and-nut ladoo is that it can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for two weeks.
