Equipment

  • Nonstick pan
  • Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
  • Plate or tray for rolling and setting ladoos

Ingredients

  • 2½ cups unsweetened desiccated coconut plus more for rolling
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom

Instructions

  • In a nonstick pan over medium-low heat, combine the coconut and condensed milk.
  • Cook while stirring continuously for 8-10 minutes, until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan. Stir in the ground cardamom and let the mixture cool slightly.
  • While still warm, roll into small balls using lightly greased hands. Coat each ladoo in additional desiccated coconut.
  • Let set at room temperature or chill briefly before serving.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened desiccated coconut so the ladoos aren’t overly sweet.
  • Lightly grease your hands with ghee before rolling to prevent sticking.
  • If the mixture feels too soft, chill for 5–10 minutes before shaping.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
