3-Ingredient Coconut Ladoo

1. 1

   Set a heavy bottomed or nonstick pan on medium low heat. Add coconut and dry roast until fragrant but not browned.

2. 2

   While coconut is roasting, break apart cardamom pods. Take the seeds out and grind the seeds into a powder. Add sweetened condensed milk and cardamom powder to the coconut and mix well. Keep stirring and mixing until the mixture comes together, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Turn heat off and let mixture cool for 5 minutes or so.

3. 3

   Line a cookie sheet with parchment or silicone mat and fill a bowl with room temperature water. To form the ladoos, rub your hands with water, take about 1 tablespoonful of coconut mixture and form it into a ball. Lay it on the cookie sheet. Repeat until all the coconut mixture is used up.
