    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!

        It’s just powdered almonds. You can get that in stores or powder them in a blender

      Hi Richa,

      Recipe looks delicious. How many balls will I roughly get from the recipe. I’m thinking of making some for Diwali. Want to make sure I get portions right!

      I used frozen store bought mangoes and frozen Indian mangoes for this. The store bought ones were too tangy so I had to add quite a bit of sugar. I too had to add water constantly so that it didn’t burn. I think next time I’m going to add more mangoes – only added 1 cup last time and had a bit of an issue getting into round shapes. But all in all, super tasty! Thank you so much.

      Dear Richa,

      is it possible to make the Ladoos instead of almonds only with coconut flour?

        Yes. Add the coconut flour (about a 1/4 cup) when you add starch. Mix in and cook for a minute. Add more only if needed. The mixture will thicken a lot more and more quickly. Once it is not sticky, let it chill and then shape.

      I have this cooling in the refrigerator for 30 mins. before I pour it into a pan. One thing I noticed is that I had to add water to my fresh mango puree. I do think it tastes good with no added sugar, but I did add 1/4t cardamom. Can’t wait to eat this cooled!!! Thanks for the recipe. 🙂

        it really depends on the mango. the Indian Mango brands that are sometimes available in Indian stores are very sweet. They dont need any added sugar. Most of the other mangoes I have tried in regular grocery stores are at the max half as sweet, so they do need added sugar. i add 1 to 2 tbsp. You can also add other sweetness like chopped dates, or raisins or currants and you will not need the added sugar.
