Easy Coconut Laddoo
A family recipe since December 2009
Soft, sweet coconut laddoos that come together with pantry staples and very little fuss. Ready in minutes, they make a perfect festival treat or an after-school snack kids will love.
Ingredients
- Desiccated coconut - 50 g
- Coconut - 4 cup
- Milkmaid condensed milk - 1 whole
- Ghee - 1 1/2 tbsp
Instructions
- 1Measure out and set aside 50 g desiccated coconut for rolling the laddoos.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 6Roll each laddoo in the reserved 50 g desiccated coconut until evenly coated.
- 7Store the laddoos in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
- 8Optional: serve at room temperature or chill briefly for a firmer texture.

This treat is really tasty! I am Brazilian and in Brazil, we make something very similar (but we roll the ball with buttered hands). Have you ever tried this with toasted coconut? I am gonna try it and will let you know how it turns out! Thanks girl!
