Coconut Ladoo Recipe | Nariyal Ke Laddu | No Sugar Coconut Laddu with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Festival season is around the corner, and everyone is looking for easy and simple dessert recipes to celebrate. There are various Indian sweets, but typically these are either rich in sugar or may be complicated to prepare and serve. Yet there are few healthy Indian dessert recipes, and coconut ladoo or nariyal ke laddu is an easy and simple sweet recipe.

I had posted this nariyal ke laddu recipe long back. Perhaps it was one of my first laddo recipes posted after I started this blog. Previously, I used a combination of sugar and milkmaid to shape and taste the laddo. It tastes great with this combination, but it may not be from a health perspective. Milkmaid or condensed milk contains a good amount of calories that you find suitable to taste, but it is not an option for Weight Watchers. Therefore, I recreated it with many healthy and simple ingredients. I have combined the jaggery, dry fruits and coconut grate, thus making it similar to an energy bar. You may follow the same method with sugar, which should give a traditional white-coloured lad. But I am confident that, once you try this, you may never go to the sugar or white-coloured coconut laddu.

Furthermore, additional tips, suggestions and variants to the coconut ladoo recipe. Firstly, I would heavily recommend using fresh, moist coconut grate for this laddu recipe. I do not have access to fresh due to my location, so I used store-bought coconut desiccate. But if you have access to a fresh one, you should use it. Secondly, dry fruits are open-ended; you may use any type with this ladder. I recommend finely chopping and roasting them before mixing them with the laddo ingredients. Lastly, while shaping the laddo, I recommend using a weighing machine to have the same weight for all laddo. If you serve it to your friends and family, it will be identical and very attractive.
