Khoya Ladoo is a chewy, delicious sweet made by blending khoya with jaggery syrup & grated coconut and shaped into balls. Khoya Ladoo is surprise that you can put up for family to make moments special. Khoyo Ladoo is my choice of sweet when you have left over khoya or milk.
I wanted to try this Khoya Ladoo for last Diwali itself but somehow it got missed so when I was looking for easy holi recipes, this one came to my mind.This is very easy to make with minimal ingredients, just in few mins you can get the ladoos ready and it tastes delicious too.Last week, I made this ladoo and everyone at home enjoyed it.I used sugar for coconut ladoo recipe so wanted to try with jaggery this time as I am replacing sugar with jaggery / cane sugar in all possible recipes.It worked so well as khoya and jaggery paired up so well.

📖 Recipe Card
Khoya Ladoo
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsweetened khoya tightly packed
- 1/3 cup desiccated coconut*
- 2 tablespoon desiccated coconut* for rolling
- 3/4 cup jaggery
- 1/3 cup water
- a pinch cardamom powder optional - I didn’t add.
*You can replace desiccated coconut with fresh coconut too
Instructions
- Soak jaggery in warm water (till immersing level), crush it well.
- Then heat it up until it is slightly thick (no string consistency needs to be checked). Cool down, then strain and keep aside.
- Take the jaggery syrup in a pan and heat it up. Cook till it bubbles up and is slightly thick like honey in consistency.
- At this stage add khoya. Keep mixing till it becomes a gooey mass and starts bubbling and gets thick. When it starts to thicken, add dessicated coconut.
- Keep mixing till all the moisture is absorbed, the mixture will become thick. At this stage add cardamom powder and switch off.
- Let it cool down for few mins. When its still warm, make small ladoos.
- Roll the ladoos in desiccated coconut.
- Place them in mini cupcake liners and let it to set.
- Khoya Coconut Ladoo keeps well for 3 days in room temperature itself!
Notes
- If you are using fresh coconut then roast the coconut till golden then add condensed milk.
- Do not overcook just switch off once everything comes together. Else the ladoos will turn hard and lose melt in the mouth texture.
- The ladoo keeps well for at least 3 days in room temperature. May be after that you can refrigerate it.
- I reserved around 1/4 cup of the cooked khoya coconut mixture to eaten as such so didn't make ladoos so got 10 ladoos.
- You can add any nuts and dry fruits of your choice.

Hi Sharmi, this looks soo delicious!! Love the idea of jaggery. does this need to reach one string consistency? And where do you get the cupcake liners and other baking goodies?

Nice new invention. If we r using fresh coconut – condensed milk … we can't use jaggery/ khoya? If we use fresh coconut the amount is same ? What type we can use.. ilaasu thengai… white shell or mutthina thenga… karuppu kai – the dark outer one…? Please explain, sorry to trouble you
SHARMILEE J
Yes same amount only…you can use regular grated coconut that we use for cooking
