Coconut Ladoos with Milkmaid

 The easiest sweets that I have ever made are these coconut ladoos...which are so light, yet so full of flavour & taste that it is difficult to stop at just one...

It has been a hit whenever I have made them and wherever I have taken it....it is so simple to make ...that when anyone asks for the recipe (while thinking that I spent a lot of time & effort on it ) I am almost embarrased to let them know that that is not the case.

This recipe involves only 2 ingredients...when Nestle introduced Milkmaid in India (that is sweetened condensed milk ) - they also came out with a small recipe booklet ....this had a lot of dessert recipes in which their product could be used...had tried out quite a few at the time...and I feel that this is one of their best ...in terms of the simplicity of the process and time involved, and hence has been my all time favourite.

This is very good for festivals, post dinner if you require more than one dessert items, or just to take across to anyone's place when visiting...I have used them for all of the above...and here I go once again making it today to take for an office party.

So anyways to get back ...here's how you go about making it...

Ingredients :

1 can of 400 gms - Sweetened Condensed Milk
250 gms - Dessicated Coconut Powder



Method :

Take a non-stick pan.
Keep aside 50 gms of the coconut powder.
Mix the entire can of condensed milk and 200 gms of coconut powder  into the pan and keep it on a low to medium flame.



Keep stirring continously - do not allow it to brown ( the coconut burns very quickly if not stirred )
Once the mixture starts to come together - this will be in about 5 - 10 minutes - take the pan off the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes or so.
Put the remaining 50 gms of coconut powder in a large plate.



Make ladoos ( once the mixture has cooled sufficiently enough to hold ) taking small portions and roll between your palms - and then put it immediately in the plate and cover with the coconut powder.
Cool and the store...stays good outside for a couple of days - and in the refrigerator for a week to 10 days.
Enjoy !!!


Coconut Ladoos

This makes 25 - 35 ladoos depending on the size.


This is such a fool-proof recipe - it turns out really good every time ...and with such consistent results -  this is the recipe I go to when I do not want to take any chances...so here's hoping you find it the same.
