Suggestions for Variations for Dry Fruit Laddu:

• I have added dates, apricots, figs, almonds, pistachios, and cashews. But you can add your favorite dry fruit. But I would suggest keeping the dates to the maximum quantity. The other choices include dried berries, like strawberry, cranberry, blueberry, and plums.
• This laddu does taste great in the quantity of nuts, and dry fruits are the same amount. The options for the nuts are also vast. You may seeds like sunflower, melon, and sesame seeds and add dried coconut slices.
• I have added brown sugar to this recipe, but you may add or skip the sugar. If you feel like adding sugar, you may add refined sugar or any other natural sugar.
• And I have added cardamom powder, as it also has medicinal value. But you may also substitute it with vanilla extract.

How long can it be stored?

It stayed great for one week over my kitchen counter. I did not store more than that period. I always make dry fruit laddu batches, by limiting the quantity of the ingredients. So I do not know, And according to my personal experience, it does stay good for one week at room temperature.
