Method
Add the heavy cream and the chocolate in a bowl. Put this bowl on a double boiler till the chocolate melts completely. Refrigerate the bowl for an hour till the ganache sets firmly.
In a pan add the desiccated coconut and roast it for a minute. Don’t let the coconut brown and add the condensed milk. Take the pan off the heat once the condensed milk stops sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cool the coconut mix, and roll it out into small roundels.
Gently press the ball in the center filling it with a scoop of the chocolate ganache, cover it with the coconut mix and roll into a ladoo. Coat the ladoo with the remaining desiccated coconut.
