2. Coconut Ladoo

Ingredients:

2 cups desiccated coconut
1 cup condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
Chopped nuts for garnishing (almonds, pistachios)
Instructions:

In a non-stick pan, roast the desiccated coconut on low heat until it turns slightly golden and aromatic.
Add the condensed milk and cardamom powder to the roasted coconut. Mix well.
Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, shape it into small round ladoos.
Roll the ladoos in chopped nuts for garnishing.
Let the ladoos cool completely before serving.

3. Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries

Fresh strawberries, washed and dried
Dark, milk, or white chocolate chips

Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle chopped nuts, colorful sprinkles, or edible glitter over the chocolate-covered portion.
