Chocolate Coconut Ladoo

Instructions

1. In a pan, heat ghee on low flame.
2. Add grated coconut and sauté for 2-3 minutes until lightly toasted.
3. Stir in cocoa powder and mix well.
4. Pour in condensed milk and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
5. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
6. Once cool enough to handle, grease your palms with a little ghee and shape the mixture into small round balls (ladoo).
7. If using, roll the ladoos in chopped nuts for added texture.
8. Let them cool completely and serve.

Tips

• Ensure the mixture is not too dry; adjust the amount of condensed milk if necessary.
• Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
