INGREDIENTS
⅓ cup (120g) NESTLÉ Caramel Treat Dairy Dessert
2 cups desiccated coconut, fine
¾ cup NESTLÉ Full Cream Sweetened Condensed Milk
½ tsp ground cardamom
½ cup NESTLÉ cocoa powder
METHOD
-
Line a tray with baking paper. Add the NESTLÉ Caramel Treat Dairy Dessert into a bowl and stir until creamy and lump-free. Spoon 60, ½ tsp sized blobs of caramel onto the tray and freeze for 3 hours until frozen solid.
-
Add 2 cups of desiccated coconut into a large non-stick pan on medium heat and lightly toast until golden brown and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes, stir occasionally for even cooking. Add the toasted coconut to a bowl and allow to cool.
-
Add the NESTLÉ Full Cream Sweetened Condensed Milk and cardamom to the toasted coconut. Stir the mixture continuously until it no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl.
-
Use a teaspoon to scoop out 60 even sized coconut balls. Push a chilled caramel ball into the centre of a coconut ball and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat until all coconut balls have a secret centre.
-
Add the NESTLÉ cocoa powder to the lined tray used for caramel blobs. Roll the filled ladoo balls in the cocoa powder until evenly coated.
-
Transfer the coated ladoo balls to a platter and ENJOY!
