Coconut Ladoo
A two ingredient dessert recipe to suppress your sweet cravings.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups fresh or desiccated coconut, shredded
- 3/4 cup condensed milk
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- 2 tsp ghee
For garnishing
- 2 tbsp desiccated coconut
- halved pistas
Instructions
- Add ghee to a pan and let it heat.
- Add the coconut and toast it in the ghee for a minute.
- Add the condensed milk and mix well with the toasted coconut.
- When the mixture comes together, add the cardamom powder and mix.
- Let it cook till most of the moisture evaporates. The mixture should neither be too moist nor be too dry. At this stage, switch of the stove and let the mixture cool.
- When it is still warm, take equal portions of the mixture and roll it into balls.
- Roll the balls in desiccated coconut.
- Garnish with halved pistas. Serve when cooled down.
Notes
- Make sure to let the moisture out first while toasting, if using shredded fresh coconut.
- Instead of fresh or desiccated coconut, even kopras can be used.
- While toasting do not let the coconut turn dark brown. Toast in a low flame.
- The amount of condensed milk used depends on how sweet you want the ladoos to be.
- Store the ladoos in the refrigerator if not having immediately and consume it within a week.
