Instructions

Toast the Coconut

Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over low heat. Add the shredded coconut and toast for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Avoid burning.

Set Aside Some Coconut

Remove 2-3 tablespoons of the toasted coconut and set aside for rolling the laddoos.

Combine Ingredients

Return the remaining toasted coconut to the pan. Add the condensed milk, milk powder, and ground cardamom. Stir well to combine.

Cook the Mixture

Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture comes together and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Be careful not to burn.

Shape the Laddoos

Lightly grease your palms with ghee. Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls (laddoos).

Roll and Serve

Roll each laddoo in the reserved toasted coconut. Arrange the laddoos in an airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. They taste delicious either way!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Coconut Laddoos

For an extra rich flavor, toast the coconut in ghee instead of just dry toasting.
Adjust the amount of condensed milk to your preference. If you like a less sweet laddoo, reduce the amount slightly.
If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
Store the laddoos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
