Description:
These VCare For Char’s White Ladoos are an absolute delight for the senses! π« My family can’t get enough of these sweet treats, often finding themselves reaching for seconds and thirds. The number of servings can vary depending on how generously you shape these ladoos’. π Remember to refrigerate them, especially because of the khoya, a creamy milk component that adds richness and flavor to these delectable bites. If you can’t find khoya at your local Indian store, don’t worry! I’ve got a quick and easy homemade khoya substitute for you. β¨

Prepare the Khoya Mixture:

Form the Ladoos:
