Turkish delight with chocolate hazelnut spread Calories

Unlike plain Turkish delight, this version has chocolate hazelnut spread inside or between layers of lokum. That filling adds a creamy, nutty chocolate flavor, while the outer confection keeps the familiar soft, chewy texture.

Make or buy plain lokum, then add a small amount of chocolate hazelnut spread as a filling or between two layers. Let homemade lokum cool before filling it so the spread is less likely to run.

Yes. The simplest home version uses ready-made lokum: cut a pocket into each piece, add a little chocolate hazelnut spread, and seal it. Use only a small amount of filling so the lokum holds its shape.

Serve Turkish delight with chocolate hazelnut spread in small pieces, often with Turkish coffee or unsweetened tea. The plain drink balances the confection’s rich filling and lets the hazelnut and cocoa flavors come through.

The filling can leak if the lokum is warm, the pocket is not sealed, or too much spread is added. Let homemade lokum cool completely, use a modest amount of filling, and press the opening closed.

Not necessarily; it can usually be kept in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. In hot weather, refrigeration helps keep the filling firm, but let the pieces sit briefly before serving for a softer texture.

Yes, it can be frozen, though the lokum may become less tender and the filling may change texture after thawing. Wrap pieces separately, seal them in an airtight container, and thaw them while still covered.

Its freshness depends on the recipe, packaging, and storage conditions. Keep it sealed and away from heat and moisture, and follow the maker’s date guidance; discard it if the filling smells off or shows mold.

Lokum is a traditional Turkish confection, but adding chocolate hazelnut spread is a modern variation rather than a defining traditional recipe. Classic lokum is typically made with sugar and starch and flavored in many different ways.
