Khajoor Choco Laddoo/ Dates Chocolate Laddoo
My younger sister made these for my little one last month using a lot of dry fruits. I went ahead and made a twist by adding some chocolate flavor to mask the dates a little. It came out awesome. I made some variations by placing crushed beetle leaf, gulkand and cherries for some in the centre.
All variations were welcomed by DH. Little one kept asking me whether these are maushi wala laddoos or you made them again....to avoid his stereotyping efforts, I coated them with silver warq.
Ingredients
2 cups seedless dates
1/4 cup dried figs
1 cup crushed mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios)
1 cup melted dark chocolate
2 tbsp gulkand/ rose petal relish
1 tbsp crushed beetle leaves (optional)
2 tbsp clarified butter/ ghee
Edible Silver foil
Method
1) Blend the dates, crushed nuts and figs with the ghee to make a sticky dough. Rub your palms and finger with some ghee to remove the pulp in a plate.
2) Add the melted chocolate to this mixture. Stir it well using a fork. Now let it stand.
3) Start rolling them into small balls. In the centre you can place the stuffing of your choice, gulkand, beetle leaf or cherries or anything else you fancy.
4) Roll them into smooth balls
5) Apply the silver warq on top to jazz it up.
