Use a good quality chocolate for the best taste and flavor.

If you are using chocolate slab, chop them into fine pieces, it will melt evenly.

Sprinkle toppings immediately, otherwise they won’t stick.

If you want to make bite-sized truffles, crumble the laddus and roll into desired sized balls before chilling.

Arrange the laddus on a lined plate or tray and let them chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Heat some water in a pan or vessel over low heat and place a heat resistant bowl on top of the water pot.

Add chopped white chocolate into the top bowl.

Keep stirring with a spatula until it is almost melted.

Remove it from the heat and continue stirring until smooth and shiny.

Transfer it to a small bowl.

Take the laddus out of the freezer.

Dip each chilled ladoo into the melted chocolate and coat it well.

Tap to remove the excess chocolate.

Place it back to the lined plate or tray.

Immediately, sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
