ABOUT CARROT COCONUT TRUFFLES/ LADOO in 30 minutes RECIPE

These gorgeous ladoos can be made in 30 minutes! Perfect thing ever for an After Dinner Bite-Sized sweet!

Ingredients Serving: 10

Carrots – 4 medium, about 1.5 cups when grated.
Cardamom powder – 1 ½ tsp (optional)
Unsalted butter/ ghee – 1 tbsp ( use oil if vegan)
Sweetened Condensed Milk – 1 cup
Almonds – 7, sliced
Rose water – 1 tsp (optional)
1 cup of desiccated coconut – 1 cup (keep ¼ of coconut aside for rolling)

Instructions

Wash, peel and grate carrots. In a wide pan, melt 1 tbsp of butter/ghee/oil and toast the almonds till it turns golden. Drain and keep it aside.
To the same pan, add grated carrots and sauté on medium heat for 5 minutes until carrots are little soft and it will ooze out some water and get dried. At that stage, add the dessicated coconut. Toast for a minute.
To the same pan, pour the sweetened condensed milk and rose water to it. Mix well and cook on low flame. Cook it until the mixture gets thick and starts to roll like a ball. It will take around 5-8 mins.
Add the roasted almonds, cool the mixture but not make it really cold. Cool it little so that you can handle by hand. Just apply ghee/oil in your hand, make round balls by taking that mixture in your hand.
Roll these balls in the ½ cup of desiccated coconut. And serve. You can store them in airtight container upto four days. I refrigerate them as it is coconut based dish.
