45 min total12 servings

Ingredients

  • Carrot - 2 cup
  • Sugar - 3/4 cup
  • Milk powder - 1/2 cup
  • Sweetened dried coconut - 1/4 cup
  • Almonds
  • Ghee - 1 tbsp

Instructions

  1. 1Wash and peel the carrots, then grate them finely so they cook evenly.
  2. 2Heat a pan over medium heat, add the grated carrot and a little water, cover, and cook until the carrots are soft, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. 3Stir in the sugar and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture becomes drier and begins to clump together.
  4. 4Remove the pan from heat and let the carrot mixture cool until it is comfortable to handle.
  5. 5Stir in the milk powder and ghee until the mixture is evenly combined and holds together when pressed.
  6. 6Take a small handful of the mixture, press an almond into the center, and shape it into a smooth ball.
  7. 7Spread the sweetened dried coconut on a plate and roll each ball in the coconut to coat it evenly.
  8. 8Chill the balls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up before serving.
  9. 9Serve the coconut carrot balls chilled for a refreshing, bite-sized sweet.
