Ingredients

Please note you will find the full list of ingredients and their quantities in the recipe card below.

You can use a buttercake cake mix to make the base of this slice, however it is just as easy to use self-raising flour and caster sugar instead. You will also need desiccated coconut, butter which has been melted, canned apple slices, sour cream and cinnamon sugar. If you are unable to source cinnamon sugar, you can use ground cinnamon instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will Apple and Sour Cream Slice keep for?

Once baked, this slice will keep for up to five days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. You may find the base does begin to soften.

Can you freeze Apple and Sour Cream Slice?

This slice is best enjoyed after it has been baked. I do not recommend freezing it as the consistency of the sour cream layer will change when defrosted.

Do you have to use a cake mix when making Apple and Sour Cream Slice?

No you do not. Although a 340 gram buttercake cake mix can be used, this can also be substituted with 200 grams of self-raising flour and 140 grams of caster sugar.

Recipe Tips

If you would prefer to use cake mix, you will need a 340gram vanilla cake or buttercake mix for this recipe.

Use light or regular sour cream for the topping. I find using a spatula to spread the sour cream over the surface to be the easiest way.

Cinnamon Sugar can be found in the spices and herbs section of your local supermarket. You can also use ground cinnamon if preferred.

Homemade stewed apples can be used in place of tinned apples, however you will need to drain off excess fluid.

Thermomix Basil Pesto

Our simple and flavour packed Thermomix Basil Pesto is made with just 5 ingredients and makes a delicious dip or pasta sauce!

An overhead shot of a bowl of basil pesto and crackers.

We go through a LOT of pesto in our house... whether it's as part of a grazing platter, used as a pasta sauce, stuffed inside chicken, as a scroll filling, stirred through risotto, in potato salad or drizzled over pizza!

So making homemade basil pesto in the Thermomix is a great money saving option for us... plus we know exactly what's going in to our pesto!

Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

Our Thermomix Basil Pesto tastes just as delicious as your favourite store-bought pesto!

  • Versatile - mix it up by using roasted cashews in place of the pine nuts, add a little chilli or even some rocket!
  • Change The Texture - making your own homemade pesto means that you can change up the texture depending on what you're using it for. If you're making pesto to use as a sauce, add extra oil to thin it out. If you'd like a chunky style dip, simply use less oil.
  • Double The Recipe - need a big batch of pesto? No worries! Simply double our recipe.

Expert Tips

  • Mix & match - switch up the pine nuts with cashews for a yummy variation!
  • Use roasted/toasted nuts - for crunch and flavour, toast the pine nuts in a frying pan before using, or use roasted cashews.
  • For a chunkier pesto dip - use 50g-75 of olive oil. 
  • For a smoother pesto that can be used as a pasta sauce - use 100g olive oil. 
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • To avoid the pesto turning brown, add a very thin layer of olive oil to the top when storing.

FAQs

Can I use this recipe as a chunky dip?

Yes! Simply use less olive oil (see tips above).

Can I use natural un-toasted pine nuts?

No - toasting the pine nuts is essential as it adds crunch and flavour. Alternatively, you can use roasted cashews.

Expert Tips

Our simple tips will help you to make the perfect rum balls!

  • either light or dark fruit cake is suitable for use (personally I prefer light fruit cake).
  • use rum for an adults-only and more traditional version of rum balls.
  • replace the rum with orange juice for a non-alcoholic and kid-friendly version.
  • once you've melted the chocolate, work quickly to add the fruit cake and mix (before the chocolate starts to set).
  • when mixing the melted chocolate and fruit cake, the mixture will be VERY dense and sticky and the blades may find it hard to mix. Use the spatula through the MC hole to help mix. If your blades are struggling, simply remove the Thermomix bowl and mix together with the spatula.
  • you can substitute the chocolate sprinkles for coconut or cocoa if you prefer.
  • store in airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  • freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

FAQs

Can I double this recipe?

Unfortunately no. The mixture is very dense and sticky and the machine wont be able to mix a double batch.

Help! My blades are getting stuck!

When mixing the melted chocolate with the soaked fruit cake, the blades may struggle to mix. Use the spatula through the MC hole to help move the mixture around. If the blades have become completely stuck, simply remove the Thermomix bowl from the machine and use the spatula to mix through.

Can you make rum balls with crushed biscuits and sweetened condensed milk?

Traditional rum balls are made using fruit cake and melted chocolate, however, chocolate coconut balls are often referred to as rum balls as well (even though technically, they are not!). You can find our chocolate coconut balls recipe here.

FAQs

Why do I need to mix using REVERSE?

Once you've added the Rice Bubbles, nuts, fruits and coconut, you want to blades to stir rather than chop. Mixing on REVERSE ensures that the mixture is gently stirred.

Can I give this as a homemade gift?

White Christmas makes a delicious Christmas gift. Pop a few pieces into a cellophane bag and tie with a ribbon. Alternatively, add it to a Christmas food hamper.

Can I make this recipe without a Thermomix?

Yes you can - simply melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a double boiler on the stovetop and then mix in a large bowl with a spoon.

  • Chocolate - you can use either milk or dark chocolate for this recipe. I recommend using chocolate melts as they melt easier than regular chocolate.
  • Pretzels - use regular size pretzels and break them into antler shapes!
  • M&Ms - pick out the red M&Ms to use for the nose! You could also use red Skittles or Smarties if you prefer.
  • Edible Eyes - you can buy edible eyes from most major supermarkets (I buy mine from Coles) or specialty baking stores.
  • Edible Glitter/Dust - this is optional but adds an extra special festive look to the bark. In the recipe I have used gold sugar dust, however, you can use any edible glitter or sugar dust you like.

Step 3 - Cut Into Shards

Place onto a chopping board and use a large flat knife to cut the chocolate bark into shards.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week (if you live in a warm climate, you may need to store it in the fridge).

Expert Tips

Follow my simple tips for the perfect Thermomix reindeer bark!

  • edible eyes can be purchased from most major supermarkets or speciality baking stores. I purchase mine from Coles.
  • you can use red M&Ms or replace them with red Skittles or Smarties.
  • edible sugar dust or glitter adds an extra special look to the reindeer bark - however it is entirely optional.
  • have your pretzels chopped and ready to go before the chocolate has melted.
  • once the chocolate has melted, you'll need to work quickly to decorate so that the chocolate doesn't set.
  • if you live in a cold climate, warm your flat baking tray in the oven on a low heat before spreading the melted chocolate over the top. This will stop the melted chocolate from setting while you decorate.
  • store the reindeer bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week (or in the fridge if you live in a warm climate).
  • freeze any leftover bark for up to 1 month.
  • note: the pretzels are at their crunchiest on the day of making the bark and will soften over time (particularly if stored in the fridge or freezer).

FAQs

Where can I buy edible sugar dust or edible glitter?

Most major supermarkets (such as Coles or Woolworths) sell these in their baking aisles. Alternatively, Big W has a good range, as do all speciality baking stores.

How do you stop the pretzels from softening?

The pretzels will begin to soften over time. They will soften more so if stored in the fridge or freezer than they will at room temperature.

Can I give this as a homemade gift?

Yes! Simply place a few pieces into a cellophane bag and you have the perfect Christmas gift for neighbours, friends and family.

  • edible sugar dust or glitter adds an extra special look to the reindeer bark - however it is entirely optional.

Expert Tips

Follow our simple tips for the perfect Thermomix shortbread!

  • there is no rising agent used in shortbread - this is because we want it to be flat and buttery rather than fluffy
  • either salted or unsalted butter is fine to use
  • the kneading function may also be called the dough function - depending on the model of your Thermomix
  • it's important to chill the dough so that the butter solidifies and your biscuits don't spread when baked
  • if you have chilled the dough for considerably longer than 30 minutes, you may need to leave it at room temp for 10 minutes before rolling it out (so that it doesn't crack).
  • don't overcook the shortbread - it should hardly change in colour at all. Please note, that the shortbread will be soft when you remove it from the oven and it will firm up as it cools.
  • Store shortbread in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
  • Alternatively, you can freeze the unbaked dough or the baked biscuits for up to 1 month.

Expert Tips

Follow our simple tips for the perfect creamy zucchini soup.

  • Soup Consistency - for a chunkier soup, blend by pressing Turbo until the soup has reached your desired consistency.
  • Do NOT exceed the MAX line - at no stage should you exceed the MAX line in the Thermomix machine. This is particularly important with the TM31 as the bowl is smaller than the TM5 and TM6. If you are close to the MAX line, use less stock liquid.
  • MC OFF - for safety reasons, it's important to remove the measuring cup (MC) when cooking at very high temperatures. To avoid splatters, place the splatter guard or simmering basket over the top of the lid instead.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat frozen soup in a pot on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Reheat defrosted soup in the microwave, on the stovetop or in the Thermomix.
  • Allow the soup to cool completely in the fridge and then freeze for up to 3 months.

FAQs

Can I double this recipe?

No - this recipe cannot be doubled as doing so would exceed the MAX safety line.

Why do I need to remove the MC when I'm cooking the soup?

This is for safety reasons as steam builds up in the Thermomix when cooking at high temperatures. Removing the MC (measuring cup) and instead placing the splatter guard or simmering basket over the hole in the Thermomix lid allows the steam to safely escape while catching any splatters.

There's nothing more comforting than a bowl of warm French onion soup on a cold wintery day.

Just like our minestrone soup, chicken noodle soup and pumpkin soup recipes, the Thermomix takes all the fuss out of prepping and cooking restaurant quality soup recipes at home.

  • Suitable For Any Thermomix Model - you can make our soup using any of the Thermomix models... from the TM31 through to the TM6.
  • Freezer-Friendly - the onion soup (without the baguette slices) can be frozen, however, you'll need to make fresh cheesy toastie melts when you reheat the soup (see my tips below).

What You Need

Making homemade Thermomix French Onion Soup is so easy (and almost entirely hands-off too!).

Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

The ingredients for Thermomix French Onion Soup.
  • Gruyere Cheese - this is the cheese traditionally used for melting over the baguettes in French onion soup. Alternatively, you can substitute it for cheddar or tasty cheese if you prefer.
  • Onions - yellow onions or brown onions can be used in this recipe.
  • Butter - either salted or unsalted butter can be used.
  • Plain Flour - also known as all-purpose flour.
  • Liquid Stock - you can use beef or chicken stock liquid - the choice is yours! Chicken stock tends to give the soup a lighter flavour, whereas beef stock tends to be richer in flavour.
  • Bay Leaves & Thyme - optional, but recommended.
  • Baguette - thinly slice a baguette or French stick.

Step By Step Instructions

Let's get started making Thermomix French onion soup!

Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

Step 1 - Grate The Cheese

Place the cheese into the Thermomix bowl and mix until finely grated.

Set aside in a seperate bowl.

Wash and dry the Thermomix bowl.

Step 2 - Chop & Saute The Onions and Butter

Place the butter and the halved onions into the Thermomix bowl.

Season with salt and pepper and then mix until chopped.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and then saute for 15 minutes.

Note: Remove the MC and place the splatter guard or rice basket on top of the lid before cooking.

Use the spatula to stir the onions (ensuring that you move and lift any onions from the base of the bowl - to stop them from sticking).

Cook for a further 15 minutes.

Step 3 - Cook The Soup

Pour in the stock liquid and add the plain flour. Mix with the MC ON for 15 seconds to combine.

Remove the MC, add the bay leaves and thyme (if using) and then cook the soup for 20 minutes.

Expert Tips

  • It's important to scrape the onions from the base of the Thermomix bowl in between the cooking times. This helps to ensure that they don't stick to the base.
  • While the soup is cooking, cook the cheese toastie slices - place thinly sliced baguette pieces onto a flat baking tray. Sprinkle the reserved gruyere cheese over the top and grill in the oven until golden and melted. Place on top of the bowls of soup when serving.
  • Do NOT exceed the MAX line - at no stage should you exceed the MAX line in the Thermomix machine. This is particularly important with the TM31 as the bowl is smaller than the TM5 and TM6. If you are close to the MAX line, use less chicken stock liquid.
  • MC OFF - for safety reasons, it's important to remove the measuring cup (MC) when cooking at very high temperatures. To avoid splatters, place the splatter guard or simmering basket over the top of the lid instead.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat frozen soup in a pot on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Reheat defrosted soup in the microwave, on the stovetop or in the Thermomix.
  • The onion soup (without the baguette slices) can be frozen for up to 3 months, however, you'll need to make fresh cheesy toastie melts when you reheat the soup (see my tips below).

FAQs

Why do I have to use the REVERSE function in some steps?

The REVERSE function is used when we want to stir rather than chop. As the onions have already been chopped, we simply want to stir them while they saute and cook.

Why do I have to remove the MC?

The MC (measuring cup) needs to be removed when cooking at high temperatures. This is for safety reasons as the steam in the Thermomix builds up and cannot escape. Place the splatter guard (or the simmering basket) over the hole in the MC lid instead - this stops splatters while allowing the steam to escape.

  • Mushrooms - you can use white or brown mushrooms (or a combination).

  • Do NOT exceed the MAX line - at no stage should you exceed the MAX line in the Thermomix machine. This is particularly important with the TM31 as the bowl is smaller than the TM5 and TM6. If you are close to the MAX line, use less chicken stock liquid.

FAQs

What does MC off mean?

The MC refers to the measuring cup that sits in the hole of the Thermomix lid. When cooking at high temperatures, it's important for safety reasons to remove the MC so that the steam can escape.

What is the splatter guard?

The splatter guard is a plastic lid with holes that sits in place on top of the Thermomix lid. This stops splatters from escaping. If you don't have a splatter guard (earlier models do not), then you can simply place the simmering basket over the hole in the lid instead.

Equipment

  • Thermomix

Ingredients

  • 90 g butter
  • 1 brown onion halved
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 500 g button mushrooms halved
  • 50 g plain flour
  • 800 g chicken stock liquid
  • 100 g cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley to serve

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in the Thermomix bowl for 3 minutes, 80 degrees, Speed 2.
  • Add the halved onion, garlic and thyme and chop for 6 seconds, Speed 6. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
    Saute for 4 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 1 (MC off but the splatter guard in place).
  • Add the mushrooms and saute for 6 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 1 (MC off but the splatter guard in place).
  • Add the plain flour and the chicken stock liquid and cook for 10 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 1 (MC off but the splatter guard in place).
    Note: do NOT exceed the MAX line.
  • Add the cream, season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes, 80 degrees, Speed 1 (MC off but the splatter guard in place).
  • With the MC off and the splatter guard in place, slowly blend the soup by increasing to Speed 6 for 1 minute.
  • Serve with fresh parsley.

Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
  • Mushrooms - you can use white or brown mushrooms (or a combination).
  • Vegetarian Option - use vegetable stock liquid in place of the chicken stock liquid.
  • Soup Consistency - for a chunkier soup, blend by pressing Turbo until the soup has reached your desired consistency.
  • Do NOT exceed the MAX line - at no stage should you exceed the MAX line in the Thermomix machine. This is particularly important with the TM31 as the bowl is smaller than the TM5 and TM6. If you are close to the MAX line, use less chicken stock liquid.
  • MC OFF - for safety reasons, it's important to remove the measuring cup (MC) when cooking at very high temperatures. To avoid splatters, place the splatter guard or simmering basket over the top of the lid instead.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat frozen soup in a pot on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Reheat defrosted soup in the microwave, on the stovetop or in the Thermomix.
  • Allow the soup to cool completely in the fridge and then freeze for up to 3 months.

Expert Tips

Follow our top tips for the perfect Thermomix Peppermint Brownies!

  • I recommend using dark chocolate melts instead of regular dark chocolate, purely because it melts easier.
  • peppermint extract can be purchased in the baking aisle (near the vanilla extract).
  • you can use pure icing sugar or icing sugar mixture for the frosting. Please note that pure icing sugar sets firmer (and therefore, is better for school lunch boxes).

Should I use icing sugar mixture or pure icing sugar?

You can use either icing sugar mixture or pure icing sugar when making Thermomix Cranberry Shortbread.

Expert Tips

Thermomix Panna Cotta

Our 5 ingredient Thermomix Panna Cotta recipe infused with vanilla bean paste is a classic, light and luscious Italian-style dessert.

Glasses filled with panna cotta and berries.

Panna Cotta is a famous Italian dessert made with cream, milk and sugar then firmed with gelatine.

Our Thermomix Panna Cotta recipe adds a touch of vanilla bean paste for extra flavour and is served with a variety of fresh seasonal berries.

While similar to custard, it's slightly different in that panna cotta contains gelatine which helps it to hold its shape.

This is the perfect recipe for dinner parties, Christmas or a simple dessert.

Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

There's something to lovely about this classic, subtle-flavoured dessert.

  • A Christmas Favourite - this simple Thermomix panna cotta is popular all year round... but even more so at Christmas time!
  • No-Bake Dessert - Simply prepare the mixture in your Thermomix, pour it into individual glasses or bowls and place in the fridge to set.
  • Add Your Favourite Toppings - I like to use fresh berries to decorate the panna cotta as they perfectly match the sweet vanilla bean flavour of the custard. However, you can use a berry coulis, grated chocolate or even caramel sauce to serve instead.
  • Prepare Ahead Of Time - panna cotta can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days, making it the perfect dessert option for prepping ahead of time.

What You Need

Just 5 basic ingredients are needed to make our vanilla bean Thermomix panna cotta recipe.

Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

The ingredients for Thermomix Panna Cotta.
  • Cream - use thickened, heavy or whipping cream. Light cream is not suitable for this recipe.
  • Milk - full cream milk will give you the best flavour and texture. Skim or light milk is NOT recommended.
  • Caster Sugar - a superfine sugar that is perfect for desserts as it dissolves when mixed with the ingredients.
  • Vanilla - for the best results and flavour, use a vanilla bean paste. This will give you the most delicious vanilla infused flavour. You 'can' use vanilla extract, but the flavour will not be as good.
  • Gelatine Leaves - or gelatine powder. See recipe notes below.

Step By Step Thermomix Instructions

You won't believe how easy it is to make restaurant quality panna cotta using your Thermomix machine.

FAQs

Can I make this panna cotta recipe in any of the Thermomix models?

Yes you can!

How else could I decorate the panna cotta?

Try a berry coulis, grated chocolate, caramel sauce or lemon curd.

What are gelatine leaves?

Gelatine leaves are large clear sheets of dried gelatine. Once placed into cold water, they become soft. Squeeze out any excess liquid and then add the sheets to the panna cotta mixture. The leaves help the panna cotta to set.

Can I use gelatine powder instead of gelatine leaves?

Yes you can - please refer to the recipe card below for details.

How to cook whole oranges?

To cook whole oranges in a Thermomix, add 1500 grams of water to a Thermomix bowl and place the oranges into the simmering basket. Cook for 40 - 45 minutes at 100 degrees, speed 2.

Why is my Orange Cake bitter?

Cooking the oranges helps to ease the bitterness of the orange rind. If your cake is too bitter, the oranges may have been undercooked or you may not have added the correct amount of sugar.
