Chocolate Coconut Laddu

BM #74 Week 1 Day 2 -

For the second day a similar treat to yesterday's Chocolate Peda but the coconut in these laddus take it a notch higher :).

I am just trying to use up the hot cocoa mix which is lying in my pantry but it can be safely substituted by the regular cocoa powder.

Ingredients - 

Condensed Milk 6 Tbsp
Coconut Powder 2 cups + 1 tsp for rolling
Almonds crushed 2-3 Tbsp
Hot Cocoa Mix 2 Tbsp

Method Of Preparation -

In a heated pan, add condensed milk and stir. After it is slightly warm, add in the nuts, coconut powder and mix well until it slightly firms up. (About 3-4 minutes)

Reduce the heat. Add in the hot cocoa mix and stir well until incorporated.

Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

While it is still warm, pinch bite size portion of the mixture and roll into any shape of your preference and set aside.

After all the mixture is shaped up, roll each of them on coconut powder and set aside.

Enjoy immediately or refrigerate in an air tight container for later use.
