Ingredients

  • 1 tinNestlé MILKMAID
  • 100 gms Milk Powder
  • 5 cups (350 gms)Fresh Grated Coconut

How to make Coconut Laddu

  • Step 1: Set aside 1 cup of the grated coconut. In a thick-bottomed pan, combine Nestlé MILKMAID, milk powder, and the remaining grated coconut. Mix well and heat the mixture, stirring constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Step 2: Reduce the heat to low and cook the mixture until it starts to leave the sides of the pan (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and allow it to cool.
  • Step 3: Once the mixture has cooled, take small portions and roll them into ladoos using lightly oiled hands. Then, coat the ladoos with the reserved grated coconut. Your Coconut Ladoos are now ready to serve.

Tips to Coconut Ladoo

  • Use freshly grated coconut for the best flavour and texture of Coconut Ladoo. If using desiccated coconut, soak it in a little milk to hydrate it.
  • Make sure the milk powder is lump-free before adding it to the mixture for a smooth texture.
  • Gradually add MILKMAID while mixing to ensure an even blend and achieve the desired creaminess and sweetness in your Coconut Ladoo mixture.
  • Cook the mixture on low to medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pan, as mentioned in the Coconut Ladoo recipe.
  • Lightly grease your hands with ghee to prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping the Nariyal Laddus.
  • Allow the mixture to cool slightly before shaping it into Coconut Ladoos, as this makes it easier to handle.
  • Store the Coconut Laddus in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
