Coloured coconut balls are great for any occasion, I’ve made them for Diwali this year and keeping these coconut coloured ladoo simple with no cardamom or saffron – very children friendly.

Condensed milk is brilliant for this type of dessert as from start to finish it takes less than 30 minutes for a great treat.
