Dates and dry fruits laddoo(no bake/no cook)

These laddoos are a nice way to add dates into kids diet. They would sure love the crunchiness from the nuts. These laddoos are very easy to make and does not involve any cooking or baking. Just pulse the deseeded dates and nuts along with a tablespoon of date syrup to get a coarse mixture and make them into small laddoos. Its as simple as that.

I generally add almonds, cashew and dried grapes to the dates, but any other dried fruit can be added. Even orange rind can be added for that extra flavor. For 500 gms of dates, 1 1/2 cups of dry fruits is sufficient. Just stick to this ratio even if adding more varities of dry fruit.

I have made these laddoos only with the blade attachment of the food processor. I am not sure if the dates and nuts would be ground uniformly if using the regular mixer jar.

Here is the recipe to make around 25 laddoos.
