This year I'm being frugal and making most of my Christmas presents.
Two weeks ago I attended the annual Winter Good Food Show and stumbled across Collectively Artisan ceramics. Unforetunatley I was literally stumbling after just having hit the alcohol section d no amount of free nibbles can prepare you for the measures they were serving!
Anywho I digress!! At the ceramic stall there was a bowl of complimentary Indian sweets. A small ball of coconut and cardamom yumminess!! Fortunately they had a recipe card to recreate the treats which I knew instantly would make an alternative Christmas present.
To make 10-12 treats you'll need:
> 100ml/6 tbsp condensed milk (preferably unsweetened)
> 5-6 green cardamoms (seeds removed and crushed)
> 125g desiccated coconut
Pour the condensed milk into a small saucepan and warm over a low heat. Tip the crushed cardamom seeds, if using and mix. Add 100g of the desiccated coconut and simmer for 2-3minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan. Watch carefully so it does not burn.
Remove from the heat and set aside until the coconut mixture is just cool enough to handle.
Sprinkle the remaining desiccated coconut onto a plate. Wet your hands and shape the mixture into 10-12 balls of equal size. Roll each ball in the desiccated coconut to cover evenly.
