Ingredients
- 1 Cup Dulce De Leche
- 3 Cup Desiccated Coconut
- 1 tsp Cardamom Powder elaichi
Instructions
Make the Dulce de Leche
- Remove the label from a can of sweetened condensed milk. Place the unopened can in a saucepan and cover completely with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 2 hours, ensuring the can is always submerged in water. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely (about 2 hours).
Toast the Coconut
- Dry roast the 3 cups of desiccated coconut in a pan over low heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted and fragrant. This removes any raw smell and helps with longer storage.
Combine Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled dulce de leche, toasted desiccated coconut, and cardamom powder. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly combined.
Shape the Laddoos
- Using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per ladoo, roll the mixture into small balls.
Roll and Serve
- Roll each ladoo in the remaining ½ cup of desiccated coconut to coat evenly. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Dulce de Leche Coconut Laddoos
- Monitor the Dulce de Leche Carefully: Keep a close eye on the simmering condensed milk to prevent it from burning. The water level should remain consistently high throughout the cooking process.
- Don't Over-Toast the Coconut: Over-toasting can make the coconut taste bitter. Keep a close eye on it and remove it from the heat as soon as it's lightly toasted and fragrant.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet ladoo, you can reduce the amount of dulce de leche slightly.
- Creative Fillings: Add a delightful surprise by incorporating chopped nuts, dried fruits (like raisins or cranberries), or even a sprinkle of chopped pistachios for an extra layer of texture and flavor.
