Carrot Coconut Ladoo

by Jiya Jesh · Updated on July 15, 2022 Sweets / Desserts

Carrot coconut ladoo recipe – an easy Indian dessert using carrots and coconut. This simple recipe uses grated carrots and coconuts cooked with milk and flavored with cardamom and the result is a delicious melt in your mouth laddu.

After the red rice flakes ladoo that I had prepared recently, I was game to try a different ladoo.

With a few carrots and fresh grated coconut available with me, I decided on this carrot coconut ladoo that is lightly sweetened with sugar as both carrots and coconut are naturally sweet.

While generally coconut ladoo is prepared using condensed milk, I prepared this ladoo using milk. Adding carrots in this ladoo is a great way to include some veggies in a dessert.

This ladoo has the light orange from the carrots giving a contrast to the white from the coconut – a colorful ladoo that you can prepare in no time and your kids will love them.

You could try this sweet for any festive occasion in place of the usual traditional sweets that we usually prepare.

Carrots are a great source of vitamin A and dietary fiber while coconuts are a good source of iron and dietary fiber.
