5-Ingredient Coconut Ladoos

Coconut ladoos are traditional Indian desserts made of desiccated coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and cardamom. They're easy to make and a great dessert to bring to celebration or special events.

Instructions

1. 1

   Add the dessicated coconut to a large nonstick skillet over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted and aromatic, about 2 minutes.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Transfer the dough to a bowl and place in the fridge for 5 minutes, until firm and cooled.

4. 4

   Add the finely shredded coconut to a shallow dish.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   Roll the balls in the shredded coconut to coat evenly.

7. 7

   Arrange the ladoos on a plate and refrigerate for about 5 minutes to harden.

8. 8

   Garnish with the crushed pistachios, then serve.
