It is also known as Nariyal Ke Ladoo is made using Desiccated coconut, fresh Khoya, sugar, water flavored with Cardamom powder. I have used a pinch of turmeric powder just for color. It is optional. You can also add similar edible food color. I have garnished it with a coat of Desiccated coconut.

Ladoo in Indian cuisine means a spherical sweet. Coconut ladoo is a classic Indian sweet recipe. 

Nariyal Ke Ladoo tastes fresh and creamy, soft, moist, rich, and fudgy in texture, and tastes mildly sweet. It is a vegetarian and gluten-free dessert or Indian sweet recipe. It is a quick recipe that you can make within 10 minutes. 

Coconut ladoo is the best recipe for beginners in cooking. No compromise in taste.

Variations:

  • You can use Fresh Coconut too instead of desiccated coconut.
  • Some people make Nariyal ke ladoo using Condensed milk instead of Khoya and sugar.
  • You can also make burfi instead of making ladoos. Spread an even layer on a greased plate, let it sit for some time, and cut it into the desired shape.
  • I have kept this coconut ladoo recipe very simple, but if you like, then you can add any nuts of your choice. 
  • Flavors like saffron, vanilla, or rose blend very well with it.
  • For the vegan version, substitute regular milk with any dairy-free milk option like almond milk.

Indian people prefer to make Coconut ladoos during auspicious occasions like puja, offerings to the deity, or festivals like Diwali, Navratri, Janmashtami, Rakshabandhan, Holi, or Ganesh Chaturthi. You can make it anytime during the whole year.

I also like to make Gulab Jamun, Moong Dal Halwa, Dates and Nuts Ladoo, Mohanthal, Lapsi, and Besan Ladoo during Festivals and family gatherings.
