25 min total12 servings

Ingredients

  • Desiccated coconut - 50 g
  • Coconut - 4 cup
  • Milkmaid condensed milk - 1 whole
  • Ghee - 1 1/2 tbsp

Instructions

  1. 1Measure out and set aside 50 g desiccated coconut for rolling the laddoos.
  2. 2If using a whole coconut, grate it to yield 4 cups; otherwise measure 4 cups of grated coconut so you have the correct amount ready.
  3. 3Heat a heavy-bottomed pan until hot, then add the 4 cups coconut and 1 whole tin Milkmaid condensed milk and stir well on low flame for 5 minutes.
  4. 4When the mixture starts to separate from the sides of the pan, turn off the heat and let the mixture cool until it is comfortable to handle.
  5. 5Once cool, grease your palms with a little ghee and shape the mixture into round laddoos, taking small portions and pressing gently to form balls.
  6. 6Roll each laddoo in the reserved 50 g desiccated coconut until evenly coated.
  7. 7Store the laddoos in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
  8. 8Optional: serve at room temperature or chill briefly for a firmer texture.
