Coconut laddoo’s are among my husband and brothers’ favorite sweets. I used to make these laddoo’s for Diwali back in India. However, for the past 4 years, I’ve not made them. We had a few friends come stay with us during the recent holidays, so I decided to make these laddoo’s since they’re easy to make and loved by all!
Preparation time: 20 mins
Ingredients
- 14 oz. or 397 g: Sweetened condensed milk
- 10 oz: Desiccated coconut or dried shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 drop of red food color (make sure you do not put too much since all we want to achieve is a light pink color)
Directions
- Pour the condensed milk in a pot and leave it on a low flame for few minutes (up to 5 minutes maximum). You will see that the condensed milk starts melting.
- Add vanilla essence and red food color and mix well.
- Set aside 3 table spoons of dried coconut powder.
- Switch off the flames and start adding rest of the desiccated coconut into the condensed milk and keep stirring. Slowly, you will get nice pinkish color. Stir well so that there are no lumps of coconut powder left.
- Now start making balls from the mixture above. You can make any size you want. I usually make them the size of a lemon.
- Roll each ball of laddoo in the dried coconut powder that we kept aside in step 3.
- Enjoy!
