Preparation Time

Don’t lose track while you’re cooking, click on an ingredient or step to tick it off so you know where you are up to.

Blitz the brownie in a food processor. Transfer to a large bowl.
Repeat with the dates.
Add the melted butter and mix together.
Roll teaspoon sized portions in the palm of your hand and place on a flat tray. Chill until firm.
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave or in a bowl over a saucepan of boiling water. Either spoon into a piping bag with a thin nozzle and drizzle over the chocolate truffles or simply dip the balls into the melted chocolate (be careful not to burn your fingers!).
Keep refrigerated until needed.

Customise this recipe to include anything that needs to be used up. Vegetables and chopped leftover sausages are delicious additions.

Don't throw away your banana peels, they are the secret ingredient in this cake.

This simple but delicious roti wrap is a family favourite and a great way to use leftover brisket, lamb shoulder or any other cooked meat.
