Ingredients:

2 cups desiccated coconut (unsweetened)
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder (optional)
2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
A handful of chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, or pistachios)
Desiccated coconut for rolling (optional)
Saffron strands for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

In a pan, heat the ghee over low heat.
Add the desiccated coconut and roast it for a few minutes until it becomes fragrant and slightly golden. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
Add the condensed milk and mix well. Continue to cook on low heat.
Stir the mixture continuously to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. The mixture will start to thicken.
Once the mixture thickens, add the cardamom powder (if using) and chopped nuts. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and comes together as a soft dough. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
Remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. It should be cool enough to handle but still warm.
Grease your hands with a little ghee to prevent sticking, then take small portions of the mixture and shape them into round ladoos. You can roll the ladoos in desiccated coconut for added texture and flavor if desired.
If using, garnish the ladoos with saffron strands placed on top of each ladoo.
Let the ladoos cool completely, and they will firm up as they cool.
Your Condensed Milk Coconut Ladoos are ready to be enjoyed. Store them in an airtight container.
