Create Melt In The Mouth Coconut Laddus In Just Minutes

Coconut Laddus are sweet, nutty, and aromatic Indian treats, perfect for festivals or quick desserts. Made with freshly grated coconut, condensed milk (or jaggery), and cardamom, they are rich in flavor and easy to prepare. The laddus have a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture, with a delicious crunch from nuts like almonds or cashews. Lightly roasted coconut enhances the nutty aroma, making them irresistible. These laddus can be rolled in desiccated coconut for an extra layer of texture. Enjoy them as a quick homemade sweet or store them for a few days for an anytime treat.
