RECIPE - Crème Caramel - Another great Australian Thermomix Blog!!!

Yay, as I'm constantly browsing around in the web looking for new recipes for Thermomix, I found this great blog with various recipes that you can try. The best part of thermomix is that if you know the recipe and settings used, you'll be able to consistently produce the same thing again.

Here it is!
--> http://thermomix-er.blogspot.com/

Below is one of the many recipes available on the blog. Personally I haven't given this a try yet but it looks so tempting and yummy :)

RECIPE - Crème Caramel (Other Blog)


This recipe is for 4 servings

Ingredients:

• Caramel to line 4 ceramic moulds
• 250 g of milk 
• 2 eggs (60g eggs)
• 70g sugar
• 500g water

Preparation 

1. Pour the caramel into the ceramic moulds (about 3cm high that can fit into the Varoma upper tray). Allow caramel to set.
2. Once the caramel has firmed place the milk, eggs and sugar in the TMX bowl, mix for 7 seconds at speed 4.
3. Pour the mixture into the moulds. Cover with a sheet of paper towel (to absorb excess water ) and then a piece of aluminium foil. Place moulds on the tray for the Varoma. Place the tray inside the main section of the Varoma and cover with the lid.
4. Pour the water into the TMX bowl (you don’t need to clean it out) and position the Varoma on top. Set the Thermomix for 30 minutes at Varoma temperature and speed 1.
5. Carefully remove the foil and paper to check for firmness. The custard should not be liquid in the centre but should wobble. It will continue to cook a little after removing from the steam so don’t overcook it. 
6. Allow to cool for an hour and then put in the refrigerator for at least another hour. 
7. When ready for service remove from the fridge at least 10 minutes beforehand to allow the custards to warm slightly. Carefully turn on plates, remove the mould and serve.

Christmas Recipes!!! RECIPE - Triple Chocolate Christmas Pudding

(Recipe taken from UK Thermomix Newsletter Issue 3 Dec 2008)

RECIPE - Triple Chocolate Christmas Pudding

Ingredients:

• 70g white bread, torn into 4 cm chunks
• 110g plain chocolate, broken into small chunks
• 100g double cream (or 50g unsalted butter plus 50g milk)
• 70g plus 70g light muscovado sugar
• 60g butter
• 2 eggs
• 20g cocoa powder
• 110g plain flour
• 110g white chocolate, broken into small pieces about 1 to 1.5cm
• 70g cut mixed peel (optional)
• Whipped cream or Brandy Butter

Preparation

1. Cut a circle of greaseproof paper to fit the base of a 20 to 22 cm non-stick round cake tin (2.5cm high). Grease the paper and the sides of the tin. Weigh the chunks of soft bread into the TM bowl. Turbo pulse a few times. Tip out and reserve.
2. Melt the plain chocolate, cream and 70g sugar 5 minutes/ 37 degree Celsius/ speed 2.
3. Add breadcrumbs, butter, the remaining 70g sugar, eggs, cocoa and flour. Mix 20 secs/ speed 5 until smooth.
4. Add the white and milk chocolate pieces and the mixed peel. Stir in by hand with the TM spatula. Scrape out the mixture into the prepared tin. Place the TM bowl back on the machine and spin the mixture off the blades 3 sec/ speed 10 or Turbo. Add to the tin.
5. Cover the top of the mixture with a buttered circle of greaseproof paper, then place a piece of foil over the top of the tin and press it lightly around the sides of the tin.This will prevent the steam condensation dropping onto the top of the pudding.
6. Rinse out the TM bowl. Add 1.5 litres water to the TM bowl. Set the Varoma on top of the TM lid, with the filled cake tin inside it. If necessary, rest the cake tin on top of 2 or 3 chopsticks or wooden skewers cut to fit into the bottom of the Varoma - the steam must be able to rise around the edges of the cake tin. Cover and steam 45 minutes/ Varoma / speed 1.

Serving tip: Best served hot with whipped cream or brandy butter. Serves 12.

Saving Tips -Energy

(Tip found from UK Thermomix Newsletter Issue 3 Dec 2008)

For those interested in saving energy, Thermomix is the one for you. It is very energy efficient because it cooks and stirs in an enclosed bowl and can be set to accurate temperatures. When compared with boiling and stirring for 10 minutes in an open pan, tests have shown that Thermomix consumes less than half the energy. (Tests compared Thermomix with an induction hob)
