Coconut ladoo is a round or ball-shaped indian sweet ladoo prepared from fresh or desiccated coconut powder with milk and sugar acting for moisture and sweetness. To make this coconut ladoo recipe more interesting, I have added stuffing in the center of the ladoo. With this recipe, you can make ladoo without stuffing, but the pink layer ladoo with pista-flavored stuffing makes the ladoo more interesting and fun.
This festival season do make this wonderful Indian Sweet and enjoy its mouth-watering and juicy taste along with friends and family!
