Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh or freshly frozen coconut
  • 1 cup condensed milk
  • ½ cup milk powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1 teaspoon rose water (optional)
  • Fresh or desiccated coconut as needed to roll the balls

Instructions
 

  • Place the heavy bottom pan over low to medium heat and add coconut, condensed milk, and milk powder. Mix well and cook for 15-20 minutes. Stir the mixture continuously.
  • After approximately 10 minutes, the coconut mixture will start thickening.
  • Continue cooking until the mixture dries out, stops sticking to the pan, and becomes a thick mass. It will take anywhere between 15 - 20 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and add cardamom powder and rose water. Mix well and take the mixture into a bowl. Let it cool down enough to handle.
  • When the mixture is still slightly warm, roll into little truffle-like balls. Roll the balls into a fresh or desiccated coconut, and they are ready to serve.
  • We can keep them at room temperature for two days, and in the fridge, we can keep them for up to two weeks.

Notes

  1. Coconut: If you can not find fresh or frozen coconut, you can also use desiccated coconut. Use fine or medium desiccated coconut.
  2. Milk Powder: Use skim milk powder or full-fat milk powder. For more creaminess, use full-fat milk powder.
