Time 1h27m

Yield 18 balls

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups unsweetened dessicated coconut
1 can sweetened condensed milk
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
¾ cup unsweetened finely shredded coconut
ghee, or coconut oil, for greasing
1 tablespoon pistachio, finely crushed, for garnish

Steps:

  • Add the dessicated coconut to a large nonstick skillet over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted and aromatic, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk and stir until well combined. Turn off the heat and keep stirring until it forms a soft, cohesive dough, 3-5 minutes. Add the cardamom and stir to incorporate.
  • Transfer the dough to a bowl and place in the fridge for 5 minutes, until firm and cooled.
  • Add the finely shredded coconut to a shallow dish.
  • Grease your hands with ghee or coconut oil. Scoop about 1½ tablespoons of the ladoo mixture into your hands at a time and roll in rounds.
  • Roll the balls in the shredded coconut to coat evenly.
  • Arrange the ladoos on a plate and refrigerate for about 5 minutes to harden.
  • Garnish with the crushed pistachios, then serve.
  • Enjoy!
