Cevizli pisikotti is a crispy Cypriot biscuit made with walnuts. It is usually served as a snack with tea or coffee, and homemade versions can vary in shape, sweetness, and texture.
No. Cevizli pisikotti is a Cypriot walnut biscuit, while biscotti refers to a family of Italian biscuits. Both can be crisp, but their customary recipes and shapes are not necessarily the same.
Cevizli pisikotti is made with walnuts and commonly uses a flour-based dough with ingredients such as eggs and a sweetener. Recipes differ, so check the specific recipe or bakery description if you need to avoid a particular ingredient.
Cevizli pisikotti is associated with Cypriot cuisine. It is made as a traditional-style biscuit in homes and bakeries, though there is no single standard recipe that represents every Cypriot version.
Cevizli pisikotti is served as a crisp snack, often alongside tea or coffee. Its firm texture also makes it suitable for dipping briefly into a hot drink, especially if you prefer a softer bite.
Cevizli pisikotti is baked until its biscuit dough loses moisture and becomes firm. A longer bake can make it even harder, so brief dipping in tea or coffee is a simple way to soften each bite.
Store Cevizli pisikotti in an airtight container in a cool, dry place after it has completely cooled. Moisture makes the biscuit lose its crunch, so avoid leaving it uncovered or storing it somewhere humid.
Yes, Cevizli pisikotti can be frozen in an airtight freezer-safe container. Let it thaw at room temperature; if it has softened, a brief warming in the oven can help bring back some of its crisp texture.
Yes, Cevizli pisikotti can be made at home by mixing walnuts into biscuit dough, shaping it, and baking until crisp. Recipes vary, so follow a tested recipe for the ingredient proportions and baking time.
Coffee is a classic partner for Cevizli pisikotti, and unsweetened herbal tea also works well. For a simple dessert plate, serve it with fresh fruit or plain yogurt rather than adding another very sweet treat.

Cevizli pisikotti is a crisp Cypriot biscuit made with walnuts folded into the dough. Its baked, crunchy texture and the walnuts’ rich, earthy flavour make it distinct from a plain tea biscuit. It is typically enjoyed as a sweet bite with tea or coffee, and can be served on its own or alongside other small treats.
At 470 calories per 100 g, it is an energy-dense snack, with much of its character coming from its carbohydrate and fat content. A couple of pieces can make a satisfying accompaniment to a hot drink; serve them with fresh fruit if you’d like a lighter-feeling snack.
