Basically, I have a habit of including coconut in any recipe, it can be a curry, chutney, dessert etc. Being a South Indian, where coconut trees grow in abundance, we are habituated of including fresh / dry coconut in most of the recipes. 

Few months back, I have already shared the recipe of Carrot-Coconut Halwa / Carrot-Kobbari Halwa. Halwa has to be served in a small cup/container.

For, individual serving purpose laddoo would be a better option. Look at the detailed recipe below.

Possible alterations for the recipe, ‘Carrot Coconut Ladoo / Carrot Coconut Sweet Treats’:

Using jaggery: I have tried the same recipe both with sugar and jaggery, the ladoos tasted great in both ways.

To use dates as sweetener: And date syrup is one more best option, if you wish to avoid sugar/jaggery. 

Using desiccated coconut: Though, I have used freshly grated coconut, same quantity of desiccated coconut / dry coconut can also be used.

Eliminating Nuts: You might eliminate the Nuts, to make the recipe completely nut free. 

Vegan options, will have to use coconut oil instead of ghee. Don’t bother it works well.

Tips:

  • While using ghee, just be generous. Ghee itself is the main ingredient that brings the aroma for this recipe.
  • Be careful while you sauté the grated carrot and grated coconut, such that it doesn’t burn. If at all they burn, whole of the recipe will result in having the same.
  • Storage: These laddoos stays good at room temperature for 4-5 days but and up to 12-15 days when refrigerated.

Result:

  • The taste of these, Carrot Coconut Ladoo / sweet treats turned out very good.
  • The texture is not that soft as I have grated the carrot & coconut coarsely.
  • They were quite chewy & gooey. My family loved them.
