Frequently Asked Questions About Hazelnut-coated Turkish delight
What is hazelnut-coated Turkish delight?
Hazelnut-coated Turkish delight is a soft, chewy Turkish sweet with hazelnuts on its outside. The contrast between the tender lokum and crunchy coating makes it different from plain Turkish delight; some versions may also contain hazelnuts inside.
What is hazelnut-coated Turkish delight made of?
Hazelnut-coated Turkish delight is typically made from a sugar-and-starch lokum base, then covered with chopped hazelnuts. Rose, citrus, or other flavorings may be added, and recipes vary in how much hazelnut they use.
How is hazelnut-coated Turkish delight different from hazelnut Turkish delight?
Hazelnut-coated Turkish delight usually has hazelnut pieces on the outside, while hazelnut Turkish delight may have nuts mixed through the lokum itself. Some versions have both, so the cut surface can reveal whether the centre contains nuts.
How should you serve hazelnut-coated Turkish delight?
Serve hazelnut-coated Turkish delight in small pieces with Turkish coffee or tea. Its sweetness pairs especially well with the bitterness of coffee, and it is also commonly offered as a bite-sized treat when welcoming guests.
How do you make hazelnut-coated Turkish delight at home?
To make hazelnut-coated Turkish delight at home, prepare a lokum mixture, cook it until thick, and let it cool before cutting and rolling the pieces in chopped hazelnuts. A slightly tacky surface helps the nuts adhere.
How should you store hazelnut-coated Turkish delight?
Store hazelnut-coated Turkish delight in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Moisture can make the pieces sticky, while exposure to air can dull the hazelnuts; separate layers with parchment if the pieces touch.
Why is hazelnut-coated Turkish delight sticky?
Hazelnut-coated Turkish delight can become sticky when it is exposed to moisture or warmth. Its sugar-based surface readily picks up moisture from the air, so keeping it sealed in a cool, dry spot helps preserve its texture.
How can you tell if hazelnut-coated Turkish delight has gone stale?
Hazelnut-coated Turkish delight should be soft and chewy, with hazelnuts that smell fresh rather than rancid. A noticeably hard texture or nuts with a stale, bitter smell or taste can indicate that the sweet has lost freshness.
Can people with diabetes eat hazelnut-coated Turkish delight?
Hazelnut-coated Turkish delight is high in sugar, so people with diabetes should account for its effect on blood glucose and follow their individual meal plan. Ask your clinician or dietitian for advice if it is unclear how it fits your care plan.
Where does hazelnut-coated Turkish delight come from?
Hazelnut-coated Turkish delight is a variation of lokum, the Turkish sweet known internationally as Turkish delight. Lokum has a long history in Turkey and is served at celebrations and when offering guests coffee or tea.

What is Hazelnut-coated Turkish delight?
Hazelnut-coated Turkish delight is a variation on lokum, the Turkish confection traditionally made with sugar and starch, with pieces of hazelnut coating its soft centre. Its chewy, yielding texture contrasts with the nuts’ crisp bite and toasted flavour. In Turkey, lokum is commonly offered with coffee or tea and served to guests; it is also enjoyed as a small sweet during celebrations. Beyond Turkey, it is often found in confectionery shops and gift assortments.
It is high in sugar, while the hazelnut coating contributes fat and vitamin E. A small piece alongside unsweetened tea or coffee makes a more restrained treat.
