Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Desiccated Coconut unsweetened, plus 1/2 cup for rolling
  • 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom Powder optional

Equipment

  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of desiccated coconut, the entire can of sweetened condensed milk, and the cardamom powder.
  2. Using a spatula or your hands, mix everything together until it's well combined and forms a sticky, uniform dough.
  3. Take a small portion of the mixture (about 1-2 tablespoons) and roll it between your palms to form a smooth, round ball. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly grease your palms with a little ghee or oil.
  4. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of desiccated coconut on a plate. Roll each ladoo in the coconut until it's evenly coated on all sides.
  5. Place the finished ladoos on a tray or in mini cupcake liners. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to help them firm up.
