Pineapple Coconut Ladoo

I was browsing the internet for a pineapple recipe and i came across this one. Have you ever tasted Haagan Dazs Pineapple Coconut Ice cream and felt in love? Here is a similar one but much healthier than having ice creams. Just two main ingredients and a wonderful dessert is ready in no time.

Preparation time : 30 minutes
Makes upto : 13-15


Ingredients : 
Fresh Pineapple : 1 or 20oz crushed pineapple can
Dry Coconut Flakes : 1/2 cup
Sugar : 1/4 cup
Roasted Semolina (Rava) : 1/4 cup
Roasted and Powdered Nuts : 3 tbsp
Craisins or raisins : for decoration


Method : 

1. If you are using fresh pineapple pulse it in food processor 4 to 5 times or until the pineapple is crushed and you can see small pieces.
2. Heat a non stick pan on a medium-high heat, add the pineapple mixture and sugar.
3. Wait till the water evaporates from pineapple and its almost dry, stirring once in a while. This will take 20 minutes.
4. Now add the coconut flakes, cook this mixture until it is completely dry.
5. Wait till it cools down. Take small amount of the mixture and form balls. Roll it around rava and ground nuts until its well coated. Decorate with raisins or craisins.

Note : 

• Dont grind the pineapple, it forms puree. Pulse it so we get to taste small chunks of pineapple.
• Adjust the sugar level depending on the sweetness of the pineapple.
