How to Make a Yummy Indian Sweet Dessert - ‘Coconut Ladoo’

Yardhini Devaraj

Hi, everyone! Do you love sweets? Well, today I'm going to teach you how to make a super easy and yummy Indian dessert called ‘Coconut Ladoo’. It’s one of my favorite Indian sweets because it's sweet, round, and super fun to make. Plus, you don’t need any oven!

What You Need:

- 2 cups of shredded coconut (it’s like tiny, white pieces of coconut)

- 1 cup of condensed milk (this is thick, sweet milk in a can)

- 2 tablespoons of ghee (it’s like butter, but even tastier)

- Some extra coconut for rolling

- If you like, you can add chopped nuts or cardamom (this makes it smell really good, but it’s okay if you don’t want to)

Steps to Make Coconut Ladoo:

Step 1: Start with the Coconut Party!

First, take the shredded coconut and put it in a big bowl. It's soft and smells soooo good! Now, pour in the condensed milk. This is the secret ingredient that makes the ladoos super sweet and sticky.

Step 2: Mix, Mix, Mix!

Using a spoon (or your hands if you like getting messy), mix the coconut and condensed milk together until they become like a soft dough. You might need help from an adult for this part, but it’s really fun to mix them together!

Step 3: Heat it Up!

Now, ask an adult to help you heat a pan. Add the ghee to the pan and let it melt. Once it’s melted, pour in the coconut mixture. Stir it for 5-7 minutes on low heat. It will start smelling even more delicious!

Step 4: Cool it Down!

After mixing, take the coconut dough out of the pan and let it cool for a little while. But don’t wait too long, because we want it to still be soft enough to roll.

Step 5: Roll Your Ladoo Balls

Now comes the best part—rolling the ladoos! Take a small bit of the coconut mixture in your hands and roll it into a ball. It’s like playing with clay, but this time, you can eat it! If you want, you can roll the ladoos in some extra shredded coconut to make them look fancy.

Step 6: Taste the Magic!

Once you’ve rolled all your ladoos, it’s time to taste them. They should be sweet, coconutty, and melt in your mouth. You can even share them with your family and friends (or just keep them all for yourself, hehe).

Fun Tips:

- You can decorate your ladoos with tiny pieces of nuts or even sprinkles to make them look colorful.

- If you want to add some color, you can mix a little food coloring in the dough before rolling.

- Try making different shapes like stars or hearts for extra fun.

Why Coconut Ladoo is Awesome:

Coconut ladoos are not just tasty; they are also super easy to make. You don’t need a lot of ingredients, and they’re ready in just a few steps. Plus, they are healthy because they have coconut, which is good for your body.

So the next time you want to make something sweet and special, try making these coconut ladoos. They are like little balls of happiness, and you’ll feel proud that you made them all by yourself!
