Recipe – Sesame Cardamom Delights

Ingredients

1/2 cup + 2 teaspoons of white sesame seeds
2/3 cup almond flour or the pulp resulting from making almond milk
3/4 teaspoon cardamom seed powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon lime or orange zest (optional)
pinch of pink salt (optional)
1/4 cup agave syrup or honey

The Magic

Toast the 1/2 cup of sesame seeds until golden brown (reserve 2 tablespoons for the final garnish) stir to evenly toast the sesame seeds and prevent them from burning.This will take about 3 minutes.

Allow the sesame seeds to cool and grind them to a medium powder (be careful not to grind the sesame too long or it will turn into tahini!)

Put the ground sesame, ground cardamom, vanilla, almond pulp, cardamom, salt and zest into a bowl and mix well.

Now add the agave syrup or honey and combine well with the rest of the ingredients.
Take 1 teaspoon of the mixture and make a ball, if it holds its shape well, keep going.
If it breaks down, add more almond flour/pulp.
Roll the mixture into balls and sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons of unroasted white sesame seeds.
