Coconut laddoo with a chocolate twist? We love the idea! Curated by Puja Darshan, host of The Tastes of India on Audible, you can easily recreate this recipe that uses just four ingredients. (Image: AI-Generated)
Ingredients: Coconut: 2 cups, freshly grated | Condensed Milk: ½ cup | Semi Sweet Dark Chocolate: 100 grams | White Chocolate: ¼ cup, melted (Image: AI-Generated)
Step 1: Dry roast the grated coconut on a low flame for 3-4 minutes. Ensure that the coconut flakes do not turn brown. Place it in a bowl once completed and let it cool. (Image: AI-Generated)
Step 2: The roasted coconut must then be grinded and made into a powder. This can then be transferred to a plate. (Image: AI-Generated)
Step 3: The condensed milk can then be added to the grounded coconut powder and mixed well. (Image: AI-Generated)
Step 4: Pinch small to medium balls with the created mixture and form laddoos. This can be done using ghee to ensure that the laddoos remain intact. Refrigerate the laddoos for about 30 minutes. (Image: AI-Generated)
Step 5: As the laddoos freezes, melt the dark chocolate to make the coating. (Image: AI-Generated)
Step 6: Remove the laddoos from the freezer and dip each of the laddoos into the melted chocolate which will become the coating. This can be done with the help of spoons or 2 forks. (Image: AI-Generated)
Step 7: Excess chocolate can be removed from the chocolate-coated balls and they can then be placed on butter paper. (Image: AI-Generated)
Step 8: After this is done for each laddoo, drizzle white chocolate on top of the laddoos and then place it in the refrigerator until it hardens. This can be done for 15 minutes. Finally, enjoy the laddoos once done refrigerating! (Image: Canva)
