- Coconut truffles also called as coconut ladoos is sweet dessert.Normally laddos can be made using chick peaflour or wheat flour and these coconut ladoos are simplest which can be prepared with few ingredients

- I made these truffles diffrent types ,One is choco coconut truffle made using choclate, other custard coconut truffle made using vanilla flavoured custard powder and third type is plain one.

Basic ingredients and procedure is same for all types except we add our own flavours.
