Instructions
- Drain the soaked cashews, and blend them with the water for a minute. Add the vegan cream cheese, sugar, salt, and coconut flour, then blend again until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a skillet. Use 2 tablespoons water to rinse out the blender, and add that to the skillet, as well, along with the vegan butter. Cook over medium-low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture will get lumpy then thicken evenly
- Mix in the almond flour and cardamom, then continue to cook for another 10 minutes, or until the mixture pulls away from the sides and bottom of the pan.
- Cool, then chill for an hour before shaping into 12 balls. Coat in shredded coconut or top with chopped pistachios or other decoration if you wish. Serve chilled.
Notes
- You can use 2 tablespoons vegan yogurt instead of the 3 tablespoons cream cheese.
- Blend in 8 strands of saffron with the cashews for a saffron (kesar) malai ladoo. Use rose, vanilla, cinnamon, or other spices instead for even more variations in flavor!
- Refrigerate for up to 4, days and freeze for up to a month.
