Because Mango and Summer! Well its techinically not as Summery here in the PNW. Lots of clouds, some rain, and lotsa sinus issues. (Maybe we should move down towards sunnier south). Anywho, mango always brightens my day!
These fudgy balls are super mangoey and a perfect treat. Add some ground nuts and seeds or protein powder to make them into a snack or add some more sweet for dessert. Use seeds to make nut-free. Mango, coconut and almond meal are cooked to thicken. Some coconut flour and starch thicken the mix further to a sticky dough that is shaped into balls. Shape the mixture into balls or pat into a bar to make burfis (mango coconut bars). Add flavors of choice like cardamom or vanilla. Make these Mango Coconut Ladoo Balls today!
