These laddoos are soft and gooey as soon as you make them, and totally fudgy when you refrigerate them. I love them both ways. For 3 ingredients and less than 5 minutes of your time, this is a brilliant recipe.

In Hindi, this is called Nariyal ka burada. If you don't find desiccated coconut, use fresh coconut, or frozen coconut scrapings. Make sure they are unsweetened though. I've tried it without milk powder and it turns out just fine. You may reduce the condensed milk by another 2-3 tbsp, and add a little more if mixture is too dry.
