No-Bake Lotus & Nutella Cream Balls
Just mix and shape: a rich, fuss-free Lotus and Nutella dessert that comes together in minutes.
A quick, no-bake treat that leans on ground caramel-spiced biscuits blended with biscuit spread, clotted cream, and hazelnut chocolate. The mixture is kneaded until firm, shaped into balls or logs, and chilled into rich, tidy little bites. It is perfect whenever you want a fast dessert with simple steps and no oven.
How to Prepare
Mix the crushed Lotus biscuits, Lotus spread, melted butter, Nutella, and clotted cream together until the mixture holds together.
Shape into balls or bars, however you like.
Chill in the fridge until firm, then serve.

Adjust the amount of melted butter so the mixture is moldable but not greasy; chill well before shaping for cleaner balls.
Ingredient Swaps
The caramel biscuits can be swapped for any crushed cookie such as tea or digestive biscuits with a pinch of cinnamon to echo the flavor. Any spreadable chocolate cream can stand in for the hazelnut one, and the clotted cream can be replaced with lightly whipped heavy cream.
Common Questions
How long do the balls need to set in the fridge?
About one to two hours until firm and easy to handle; leave them longer for a denser texture.
Why is my mixture too soft to shape?
Usually too much liquid; add more ground biscuits gradually until the dough holds together.
How long do they keep?
Store them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer.
Can I coat them in chocolate?
Yes, dip them in melted chocolate or sprinkle biscuit crumbs over them to decorate.
Are these good to make with kids?
Yes, the steps are simple and no-bake, so children can help knead and shape with supervision.
