Recipe Hints and Tips

  • Ensure the oranges comfortably fit inside the simmering basket. If they are too large, the Thermomix lid will not close.
  • It is important to allow the blitzed oranges to cool before adding to the cake batter. If still too warm, they will begin to cook the egg mixture.
  • To make this a gluten free cake, ensure you use gluten free baking powder.
  • Use either store bought or homemade Almond Meal for this recipe.
  • This cake can be cooked in different sized cake tins, please note the cooking time will vary.
  • To store, place in an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place. Consume within three days.
  • To freeze, place in an airtight container and store for up to three months.
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.

What You Need

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

  • Butter - use salted or unsalted butter.

  • Milk - use full cream milk (not skim or light) for the best results.
  • Mayonnaise - I recommend using whole egg mayo for the creamiest result.
  • Ham - use shaved ham from the deli, or substitute with any of your favourite shaved/thinly sliced deli meat.
  • Poppyseeds - optional. For sprinkling over the top before baking.

Expert Tips

  • You can make our Thermomix ham and cheese scrolls using any of the Thermomix models.
  • If you don't have self raising flour, you can make your own using plain flour and baking powder.
  • Substitute the grated cheddar cheese for mozzarella, Swiss or any of your favourite varieties.

  • Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out.
  • Make sure your board or bench is lightly coated in flour so that the dough doesn't stick.
  • Store leftover scrolls at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature (my favourite option is warm!)
  • Freeze leftover scrolls for up to 3 months.

FAQs

Do I need to allow the dough to rise?

No! This recipe involves NO rising or proving time at all! Simply prepare the dough, roll it out, add the fillings and bake!

Can I use a different variety of cheese?

Absolutely! We love the classic taste of cheddar or tasty cheese, but you could absolutely use mozzarella, Swiss or another melting cheese instead.

Can these Thermomix ham and cheese scrolls be frozen?

Yes they can! Allow the scrolls to cool completely before freezing in an airtight container or a sealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost at room temperature before consuming.
I recommend reheating the scrolls if they've been frozen to get that classic 'crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside' scroll texture back!

Expert Tips

Follow our top tips for the perfect Thermomix Peppermint Christmas Cheesecake Balls!

  • Chill The Mixture - make sure your cheesecake balls are quite solid before dipping them into the chocolate, otherwise they will fall apart.
  • Dipping The Cheesecake Balls Into Chocolate - I find poking a skewer into the base of the balls makes it easier to dip them into the melted chocolate. Alternatively, you can use a fork.
  • Use full fat (not light) cream cheese - as it sets firmer.
  • Storing - store cheesecake balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing - freeze leftover cheesecake balls for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before consuming.

FAQ

What are Mint Slice biscuits?

Mint Slice biscuits are a famous variety of biscuits made by Arnotts in Australia. They have a soft mint filling, covered in a crunchy chocolate biscuit and a smooth melted chocolate coating. If you can't buy Arnott's Mint Slice biscuits, you can use any peppermint flavoured cooked you like.

Where can I buy spearmint leaves?

Great question! These are readily available in supermarkets (here in Australia) particularly in the lead up to Christmas. If you can't find spearmint leaves, you can use any soft jellies or lolly snakes.

Can I make this without a Thermomix?

Sure thing! Use a food processor or blender to make the biscuit/cheesecake mixture and then melt the chocolate on the stovetop or in the microwave.

  • Place back onto the tray and decorate by adding one red Smartie or M&M plus two halved pieces of spearmint leaves. Repeat until all the balls are coated and decorated.
  • Store in the fridge until needed.

Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
  • Chill The Mixture - make sure your cheesecake balls are quite solid before dipping them into the chocolate, otherwise they will fall apart.
  • Dipping The Cheesecake Balls Into Chocolate - I find poking a skewer into the base of the balls makes it easier to dip them into the melted chocolate. Alternatively, you can use a fork.
  • Use full fat (not light) cream cheese - as it sets firmer.
  • Storing - store cheesecake balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing - freeze leftover cheesecake balls for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before consuming.

Recipe Hints and Tips:

  • Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 40cm x 25cm. It is ok if you don't have perfectly straight edges!
  • When adding the Pizza Sauce and filling, leave a 2cm gap from the edge of the dough as this will ensure the ingredients don't spill out when you are trying to roll the dough.
  • To roll, start from the long edge furtherest away from you and roll towards you.
  • If you find the dough is soft (this can happen if you are making these scrolls in a warm environment), pop the dough log into the fridge for 20 minutes to chill before cutting.
  • For best results, use a sharp serrated knife to cut your scrolls.
  • I also like to place the scrolls quite close together on the baking tray so that they rise up and not out when baking.
  • Please note, you can also use our 2 Ingredient Dough recipe for these Pizza Scrolls
  • You can also find the conventional cooking instructions for this recipe here.
Can I freeze uncooked Pizza Scrolls?

Yes you can freeze uncooked Pizza Scrolls. For best results, place onto a tray or plate and place into the freezer. Once frozen, transfer to a ziplock bag or container.

Do Pizza Scrolls need to be stored in the fridge?

Yes, it is best to store Pizza Scrolls (especially those with meat fillings) in the fridge. We recommend warming in the microwave or Air Fryer before consuming.

Can Pizza Scrolls be cooked in an Air Fryer?

Yes, Pizza Scrolls can be cooked in an Air Fryer. While cooking times and temperatures will vary between models, these Pizza Scrolls will take approximately 8 minutes to cook at 200 degrees in a Phillips XL Air Fryer.

Filling Ideas for Pizza Scrolls:

In this recipe I have used diced bacon and mozzarella cheese, however you really can add ANY fillings to this recipe. Some of my other favourites include:

  • Ham, Cheese and Pineapple
  • Pepperoni
  • Pepperoni and Olives
  • BBQ Sauce, roast chicken and pineapple

What was the first recipe you ever made in your Thermomix?

Thermomix Sushi

Cooking sushi rice in your Thermomix couldn't be easier! Follow our step by step method for making perfect Thermomix sushi every time.

Pieces of sushi made in a Thermomix.

Sushi makes a simple midweek dinner, school lunch box snack or a yummy lunch alternative to a sandwich.

What You Need

  • sushi rice - this can be bought from the Asian section or the rice section of any major supermarket. I generally use SunRice brand.
  • water
  • sushi rice seasoning - this can be bought from the Asian section of the supermarket. I like to use Obento brand that is a liquid and can be bought in a glass bottle.
  • nori sheets - again, I like to use Obento brand which is available in the Asian section of the supermarket.
  • your choice of fillings - cucumber, cooked chicken, lettuce, avocado, carrot, tuna etc.

How To Cook Sushi Rice In The Thermomix

Cooking sushi rice in the Thermomix is absolutely fool-proof!

Step 1 - Weigh The Rice

Place the rice basket on top of the Thermomix and weigh in the sushi rice. Rinse under cold water.

Step 2 - Cook The Rice

Place the water into the Thermomix bowl, insert the rice basket, secure the lid and cook for 20 minutes, Varoma, Speed 4.

Step 3 - Add The Seasoning

Very carefully remove the rice basket from the Thermomix (it will be very hot!). Transfer to a large plate. Drizzle over the sushi seasoning and fluff with a fork.

Step 4 - Roll The Sushi

See below for my tips on rolling the sushi.

How To Roll Sushi

Place a sushi bamboo mat (these can be bought from the Asian section of the supermarket) onto a flat bench.

Place a nori sheet on top of the sushi mat with the rough side facing up.

Spread a thin layer of cooked sushi rice over the sheet of nori (leaving a 2cm gap at the top of the sheet - to assist with sealing).

Sushi Filling Suggestions

There are SO many filling options for sushi. Here's a few of my favourites:

  • crumbed chicken and avocado
  • tuna and cucumber
  • cucumber and carrot
  • salmon and avocado
  • crab meat
  • thinly sliced beef and cucumber

Serve with soy sauce, kewpie mayonnaise, picked ginger and wasabi.

Tips For Making Thermomix Sushi

Remove the sushi rice from the basket once cooked - if you leave the sushi rice to sit in the rice basket after the cooking time, it will become gluggy.

Transfer the rice from the rice basket to a flat plate - this allow the rice to begin to cool and also makes it easier to drizzle with the sushi seasoning and fluff with a fork.

Fluff the rice with a fork - do this gently so as to seperate the rice grains and mix through the seasoning but without squishing the rice.

Place the rolls into the fridge for an hour before cutting - this allows the rolls to set making it easier to cut and serve.

Make the night before - save yourself time and make your sushi the night before. Store in the fridge until needed.

Note: Alternatively (and for an even better sourdough), you can do the second prove by placing the covered bowl into the fridge overnight.
