Hazelnut tahini biscuit cocoa balls are made by mixing crushed biscuits with tahini, cocoa and ground hazelnuts. Add enough biscuit crumbs for the mixture to hold its shape, roll it into balls, and chill until firm.
Yes, digestive biscuits work in hazelnut tahini biscuit cocoa balls. They may make the mixture sweeter or more crumbly than other biscuits, so add the crumbs gradually until the mixture rolls without falling apart.
Hazelnut tahini biscuit cocoa balls can look oily because tahini and hazelnuts naturally release oil, especially when warm or heavily mixed. Chill the mixture, then add a little more crushed biscuit if it still feels too loose to shape.
You can roll hazelnut tahini biscuit cocoa balls in cocoa powder, finely chopped hazelnuts, or desiccated coconut. Coat them after shaping, then chill so the coating sticks and the outside stays neat.
Yes, keep hazelnut tahini biscuit cocoa balls in a covered container in the refrigerator. Chilling helps them stay firm, while a warm room can soften the tahini-and-nut mixture.
Yes, hazelnut tahini biscuit cocoa balls can be frozen in an airtight container. Separate layers with baking paper to stop them sticking together, and thaw them in the refrigerator before serving.
Yes, hazelnut tahini biscuit cocoa balls are usually a no-bake treat. Mix the ingredients, shape the mixture, and refrigerate the balls; baking is unnecessary for this style of recipe.
Use plain, less-sweet biscuits and avoid adding sugar to make hazelnut tahini biscuit cocoa balls less sweet. The biscuit itself may still contain sugar, so its taste will affect how sweet the finished balls are.
Yes, hazelnut tahini biscuit cocoa balls are convenient to prepare ahead because they need time to firm up in the refrigerator. Keep them covered and chilled, then arrange them on a serving plate shortly before guests arrive.
You can replace tahini with smooth hazelnut butter in hazelnut tahini biscuit cocoa balls. The result will taste more strongly of hazelnut and lose tahini’s sesame flavor; adjust with biscuit crumbs if the mixture is too soft.

Hazelnut Tahini Biscuit Cocoa Ball is a small, home-style sweet made by combining crushed biscuits with hazelnuts, tahini and cocoa, then shaping the mixture into bite-sized balls. It is more of a flexible snack recipe than a dish tied to one particular region, and the proportions can vary from kitchen to kitchen.
The cocoa’s gentle bitterness balances the nutty, toasted hazelnut flavour and the richness of tahini; the biscuit gives each bite a soft, compact texture. Serve one with tea or coffee, as a lunchbox treat, or for a quick snack. It is energy-dense, with a mix of carbohydrate and fat, and provides some fibre. A medium piece is about 25 g, making it easy to enjoy as a small sweet rather than a large dessert.
