The traditional way of making laddu is by combining milk, fresh coconut and sugar and cooking in low flame  This method usually takes more time to make. This is the instant version of the coconut laddu recipe. The creaminess comes from the sweetened condensed milk, which is made by cooking sugar and milk and reducing it to a creamy consistency.

Personally I love condensed milk and use it often in my desserts. Have you checked out my other condensed milk desserts.

Though the recipe for making coconut laddu is very simple, few things to keep in mind before making the ladoo-

the desiccated coconut should be very fine. If the coconut is coarse, grind it till you get a fine mixture. If you decide to use fresh coconut, slightly roast the coconut with a tea spoon of ghee before making the sweet. The amount of condensed milk  i have used gives just enough sweetness to the ladoo.  You can little more condense milk , if you prefer to the sweeter side.
