During festive seasons, mind boggling traditional sweets had always ruled the roost. But now a days, people being more health conscious, they prefer sweets that substitute the conventional one. So, this festive season why not try something that gives traditional sweets a modern tweak and make something deliciously healthy that will let you indulge your sweet tooth without any guilt. So, here is my recipe of Pepi-Mex Delight which is an artisanal modern avatar of traditional Ladoos made from Papaya (Originally a Mexican fruit. So, you know from here is the name of these Ladoos derived). This recipe is a sure fire hit with both young and old.

Method
- Heat Ghee in a pan on a medium flame.
- Cut Papaya into pieces or smash it and add to the pan. Mix it well until it turns into smooth semi – liquid. Also, make sure the papaya melts completely and it doesn\’t leave any fibers behind.
- Now, dissolve sugar in the Papaya mix. You can add less or more sugar as per your taste.
- Add coconut powder & pieces of almonds to the mixture. Stir it until the water is completely evaporated. Once it is done, allow the mixture to cool and settle down.
- Make about 10 equal portions of the mixture. Grease your palm with Ghee and shape them into round balls of lemon size.
- Garnish Pepi-Mex Delight with Almond Strands and this lip-smacking sweet is ready to serve.
