Directions:

In the hot water, add the Coconut Cream Concentrate and sugar and stir well. This will make a thick sweetened coconut milk. Set aside.

Combine with the sweetened coconut milk and stir until well incorporated. Cook until the mixture gets thick and starts to roll like a ball, 5–8 minutes. Turn off heat.

When the mixture is warm, add cardamom powder and mix well.

Take some mixture in your hand and shape into a ball, and then roll in the shredded coconut. These can be stored in an airtight container for 4–5 days.
