    1. finely shredded coconut

    The remaining 2 ingredients, cardamom powder and almonds are optional. It took me only 10 minutes to finish these coconut ladoos.

    I used store brought finely shredded coconut in this recipe but using fresh coconut will definitely enhance the taste. So if possible, use fresh coconut. Also these coconut ladoos can be made in so many ways, these I made using condensed milk but one can also make them in the traditional way using sugar syrup. The condensed milk just saves time.

     

    Method

    1. Put the finely shredded coconut in a pan and roast for 2 minutes at low flame.

    2. Add the cardamom powder (optional) and mix.

    3. Add the condensed milk and mix till all the coconut is coated with condensed milk.

    6. Roll the ladoo in some finely shredded coconut and garnish with sliced almonds.

    * Use 1 cup of condensed milk if want the ladoos to be sweeter. 1/2 cup worked well for me but you can always adjust the sweetness according to your taste.

    1. Hey, just wondering how long these ladoos keep for?
      If I made them 2 days in advance, will they still be good for serving?
      Thanks!

      1. I don’t really prefer condensed milk for sweets, hardly few recipes using condensed milk, all other of my recipes use sugar. This recipe is instant and 2 minute ladoo and for that condensed milk does the job very quickly. If you want to make a ladoo with sugar, please search coconut ladoo with sugar recipe. It will involve making sugar syrup and then making ladoo. For instant ladoos, this is the way to go

    2. Hello !! Where can i buy the finely shredded coconut?? American grocery stores carry finely shredded coconut??
