Coconut Ladoo Recipe (With Condensed Milk)

My favorite coconut ladoo recipe with condensed milk (aka Indian coconut balls)! These are not to be missed. It has full of coconut flavor with a perfectly sweet taste.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups Coconut ((frozen or fresh), grated)
• 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 teaspoon Green cardamom seeds powder
• 2 tablespoons Almonds (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Cashew nuts (finely chopped)
• 4-5 tablespoons Desiccated coconut

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Roast coconut.: Take coconut in a pan on medium heat. Roast for 2-3 minutes or till the moisture is gone. No need to brown them, I have cooked coconut first because it was frozen. You can skip roasting them if using freshly grated.
2. 2Add condensed milk.: Then add condensed milk, Mix and let it simmer and cook. Do stir occasionally in the beginning. Then stir continuously as it starts to thicken more.
3. 3Cook till thick.: Cook till it is thick and no more moisture left (meaning you don’t see any bubbles from the sides). It took me around 10 minutes. Turn off the stove.
4. 4Add cardamom powder and nuts.: Add cardamom powder, almonds, cashews, and mix.
5. 5Remove to a bowl.: Remove it to a bowl and let it cool down to touch.
6. 6Shape into balls.: Grease your palm with ghee, take a small portion of the cooled mixture and start shaping into a ball. (see the video to learn how to shape). Make a tight, smooth ball.
7. 7Roll into dry coconut.: Then roll the ladoo into dry coconut and place it on the plate.
8. 8Repeat.: Repeat the same for rest.
