This recipe was based on another from Channel 4 which contained turkish delight. As usual we adjusted the recipe according to what we had in our kitchen.

Yesterday I roasted 500g of sweet potatoes for around 1 hour at gas mark 5, until the insides had gone soft and the skins had gone crispy. I scraped the insides out of the skins and put them in a tub in the fridge until we were ready to start the recipe.

The new ingredients were as follows:

• 500g sweet potato

• 15 quail eggs (equivalent to 3 medium eggs)

• 140g light brown sugar

• 60g dark muscavado sugar

• 175g dark chocolate

• 25g ground almonds and 75g ground peanuts

• 2 tablespoons millet flour

• 70g fat reduced cocoa powder

• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

• no turkish delight

The method was the same as the channel 4 version but we stirred the mixture instead of folding in the ingredients because the mixture was a bit too dry to start with.
