Instant Coconut Laddoos / Coconut Fudge
- 200 grams desiccated coconut
- 400 g condensed milk
- 3-4 pods green cardamom (seed removed and coarsely powdered, optional)
- 2 Tbsp milk powder
- 1/2 tsp ghee
- In a non stick pan or heavy bottomed steel pan, on a low flame, toast the desiccated coconut for 1 minute until slightly aromatic.
- Remove 3 tablespoons of the coconut in a flat dish.
- To the remaining coconut in the pan, add the green cardamom/elaichi powder, milk powder and almost all the condensed milk, reserving 4-5 tbsp as you may not need all of it.
- On a low flame, stir them all together.
- In 2-3 minutes, they will come together to a ball that doesnt stick to the sides.
- Grease palm with a few drops of ghee.
- Divide fudge into 24 portions and roll each into a ball.
- Roll the ball in the plate with desiccated coconut.
- Do this for all 24 laddoos and then refrigerate them in an airtight container, but not before eating a couple of them while they are still warm and gooey.
- To impress the kids, you can place each laddoo in a colourful cupcake liner and may be add a few sprinkles over the top!
