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 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

Our Thermomix ham and cheese scrolls are made using just a few basic ingredients.

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

The ingredients for ham, cheese and mayo scrolls.
  • Cheese - I recommend using grated cheddar or tasty cheese. However, you can use grated mozzarella, Swiss cheese or any other variety of cheese you like.
  • Butter - use salted or unsalted butter.
  • Self-Raising Flour - if you don't have self raising flour, you can make your own self raising with plain flour and baking powder.
  • 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.

Step By Step Instructions

It takes just 10 minutes to prepare our Thermomix Cheese and Ham Scrolls!

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

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.
  • Substitute the shaved ham for your favourite shaved/thinly sliced deli meat.
  • 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.

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.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What are homemade Tortillas made from?

To make Tortillas at home you will need flour, olive oil, baking powder, salt and water.

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 4 - Roll The Sushi

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

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.

Thermomix Sourdough Loaf

Make your own Thermomix Sourdough Loaf with our simple step-by-step recipe using starter, flour, water and salt.

It has certainly been the year of the sourdough! In what has become the biggest baking trend, it's ALL about nurturing your sourdough starter and making it into delicious sourdough loaves.

A loaf of homemade sourdough cut into slices.

What You Need

To make a loaf of sourdough using your Thermomix, you'll need:

  • sourdough starter (get some starter from a friend or make your own)
  • Bakers flour or strong bread flour
  • salt
  • water
The ingredients for sourdough.

Proving The Dough

It's important to allow the dough to prove twice before baking.

First Prove

Place the dough into a lightly greased Pyrex bowl or a ThermoServer. Cover with a lid or tea towel and allow to rest at room temperature for 4 hours.

After 4 hours, knock the dough back down to remove the air and form into a tight ball.

Second Prove

Place the dough ball back into the bowl or Thermoserver, cover with a lid or tea towel and allow to prove for an additional 3-4 hours.

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

Cooking The Sourdough

Pyrex Bowl Method

Place the dough onto a lightly dusted baking tray.

Use a very sharp knife to create tiny slits in the top of the dough.

Place a pyrex bowl over the top of the dough (to create a dome with the bread inside) and bake according to the instructions in the recipe card below.

Steam Oven Method

If you don't have a pyrex bowl, then you can place a tray of water in the base of the oven to create steam.

Place the dough onto a lightly dusted baking tray.

Use a very sharp knife to create tiny slits in the top of the dough.

Place the baking tray with the dough on the shelf above the water tray and bake according to the instructions in the recipe card below.

Look after your starter - you need to take care of your starter and feed it! If you're baking every 3-4 days, then keep your starter at room temperature and feed it daily. If you're only planning to bake once a week, keep your starter in the fridge and remove it the day before you plan to use it.

Use a very sharp knife or old school razor blade - when cutting tiny slits into your loaf before baking.

Freeze - sourdough freezes beautifully. I like to bake two loaves and freeze one of them.

Cutting the bread - as delicious as warm bread straight from the oven is... allow it to cool for approximately an hour before slicing. This allows the bread to hold it's shape when cut.

Equipment

  • Thermomix
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 400 g Bakers flour or strong bread flour
  • 5 g salt
  • 230 g water
  • 160 g sourdough starter

Instructions

  • Place the flour, salt, water and sourdough into the Thermomix bowl. Knead for 10 minutes of kneading/Interval function. The mixture will be very sticky at this stage - this is perfect.
  • Use a spatula to scrape the sticky dough into a greased bowl. Cover and allow to prove for 4 hours at room temperature.
  • On a lightly floured board, knock the air out of the dough and form into a tight ball. Return to the greased bowl, cover and allow to prove for another 4 hours (for best results, cover and place into the fridge overnight to prove.
  • Preheat the oven to 210 degrees celsius (fan-forced) or 230 degrees celsius (non fan-forced).

If using a pyrex bowl

  • Lightly flour a flat baking tray.
  • Place the dough onto the centre of the tray and cut a couple of tiny slits with a very sharp knife on the top of the dough. Place the pyrex bowl over the top of the dough to form a dome.
  • Cook for 25 minutes and then very carefully remove the pyrex bowl and cook for a further 25 minutes or until a crust has formed and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
  • Allow to rest and cool before cutting.

If using a water tray

  • If you don't have a pyrex bowl, you can place a tray of water on the bottom shelf in the oven to create steam.
  • Place the dough onto the centre of the tray and cut a couple of tiny slits with a very sharp knife on the top of the dough.
  • Place the tray on the shelf above the water tray and cook for 30-35 minutes or until a crust has formed and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Thermomix Ricotta Gnocchi

It couldn't be easier to make your own soft and fluffy Thermomix Ricotta Gnocchi. Forget about tough, dry potato gnocchi, this ricotta version is fool-proof and ready in less than 20 minutes!

Homemade gnocchi on a floured wooden board.

Gnocchi is an absolute favourite dinner in our house - whether it's served with a classic tomato sauce, pesto, or (my favourite) burnt butter sauce, it's always a hit. And of course, the latest trend is homemade ricotta gnocchi - which is a million times easier than potato gnocchi... and in my opinion, a whole lot softer and more delicious too!

For more homemade Thermomix pasta recipes, check out our classic pasta dough, homemade pumpkin ravioli and homemade beetroot ravioli.

4 Ingredient Ricotta Gnocchi

All you need to make this recipe, is 4 basic ingredients:

  • ricotta - buy a container of ricotta (smooth ricotta) from the cheese section of the supermarket. This type of ricotta works far better in this recipe than fresh Italian ricotta (from the deli).
  • flour - you can use either plain flour or 00 pasta flour. 00 pasta flour will of course give you the best result, but plain flour still makes this ricotta AMAZING! Use 00 pasta flour if you've got it, otherwise plain flour is fine.
  • eggs - this recipe requires 2 full eggs plus 2 extra egg yolks. I use large eggs (approximately 55g each).
  • parmesan cheese - finely grate the block of parmesan cheese in the Thermomix until fine crumbs remain.

Making Ricotta Gnocchi In The Thermomix

Mixing the ingredients takes just 1 step and less than 2 minutes!

Start off by grating the parmesan cheese.

FAQs

Can I use frozen bananas?

Sure thing! You may find that you need to mix them a little longer in the Thermomix however.

How do I know if my bananas are still OK to use?

The general rule is that brown or starting to blacken bananas are fine to use (the riper the better). However, if the bananas smell, or are black on the inside or leaking fluid... throw them out!

The ingredients for chocolate buttercream.
  • Butter - you can use salted or unsalted butter for this recipe (I prefer salted butter).

FAQ

How much chocolate buttercream does this recipe make?

This recipe makes enough buttercream to ice 12 cupcakes or a standard 20cm cake - such as our Thermomix Butter Cake Recipe.

Can I use icing sugar mixture instead of pure icing sugar?

It's important to use pure icing sugar as it results in a firmer frosting that is perfect for piping.

Help! My Thermomix chocolate buttercream is too dry!

Simply add an extra tablespoon of milk and mix again.
On the other hand, if your frosting is too soft, add a little extra icing sugar and mix again.

Room Temperature Butter

Storing

Once you have iced your cakes/cupcakes, place them in an airtight container and store at room temperature.

Doubling The Recipe

Three Cheese Gozleme Recipe

Three Cheese Gozleme is the ULTIMATE comfort food and best of all, you only need a few ingredients to make them!

Thermomix Three Cheese Gozleme

For a quick snack or easy dinner, you can't go wrong with our Cheese Gozleme recipe. Filled with THREE types of cheese (and you could even add more if you wanted to - no judgement here!) these delicious parcels will satisfy the cravings of even the BIGGEST cheese lover.

Three Cheese Gozleme Side View

To make these cheese gozlemes, extra cheesy, I filled them with a combination of feta, mozzarella and tasty cheese. However you can use whatever cheese you like, these are also extra tasty with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese too.

Thermomix Three Cheese Gozleme Top View

Tips for Making Our Three Cheese Gozleme:

  • You can play with the quantities of each type of cheese if you wish. We also love these gozlemes with parmesan cheese too.
  • If you find your dough is too sticky, add a little extra flour to it when dividing into four.
  • I like to cook my Gozleme in ghee (I use the recipe from Cookidoo to make mine) but you can also use extra virgin olive oil.
  • The cooked Gozleme can be frozen.

What You Need

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

To make homemade Thermomix English muffins, you'll need:

The ingredients for homemade English muffins.
  • dried instant yeast (or fresh yeast) - I recommend using the 7g sachets as they stay fresh and active as they are sealed individually.

  • full fat milk - I always recommend using full cream milk when cooking as it gives a better flavour and texture.
  • plain flour (or bread flour is even better if you have it!) - bread flour will give you the best possible English muffins, but plain flour can also be used.
  • salt
  • butter - unsalted or salted butter can be used
  • egg - use a large egg (approximately 60g)

Expert Tips

Tips To Rise Your Dough

Once you've made your English muffin dough, it's time to let it rise! Here's a few tips for helping dough to rise:

  • place the dough into a greased bowl or ThermoServer (this will help to remove the dough later on)
  • cover your ThermoServer with a lid. If you don't have a ThermoServer, cover your bowl with a tea towel to trap in the heat.
  • place the bowl or ThermoServer in a warm and draught-free place to rise for approximately 1 hour (or until doubled in size).
  • a warm spot might be in front of a sunny window, on top of a hot water bottle, in front of a fireplace. You can also heat you oven on low and then turn it off before placing your bowl/Thermoserver inside (just make sure it's not too hot or you may melt the lid/cook the dough!)

  • Cooking the English muffins in a frying pan will par cook them. You will need to cut them in half and cook in the toaster when ready to serve.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze any leftovers for up to 3 months.
  • Allow to defrost before cutting in half and cooking in the toaster.
  • Serve with butter and your favourite spread, or eggs and bacon!

FAQs

How do you cook English muffins?

Homemade English muffins are par-cooked in a frying pan on the stove-top. When you're ready to serve them, simply cut in half and place into your toaster as you normally would.

Are semolina and polenta the same thing?

No, however, they are very similar and either can be used in this recipe to stop the muffins from sticking to the baking tray and frying pan.

Can I double this recipe?

I don't recommend doing so as you would need a VERY large ThermoServer (or 2!) to allow the dough to rise adequately. This recipe entirely fills my extra large ThermoServer once it's risen.

The ThermoServer is a great money saver when it comes to making your own homemade breads, muffins and scrolls!

Equipment

  • Thermomix
  • Stove-top

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoon dried active yeast or 30g fresh yeast
  • 300 g milk full fat
  • 30 g caster sugar
  • 30 g butter room temperature
  • 1 egg large
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 540 g bread flour or plain flour

Instructions

  • Place the dried active yeast, milk and sugar into the Thermomix bowl. Heat for 2 minutes, 37 degrees, Speed 2.
  • Add the butter, egg, salt and flour and mix for 5 seconds, Speed 6. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix on Interval/Knead function for 2 minutes. Please note: the dough will be very sticky!!!
  • Place the dough into a greased bowl or ThermoServer and allow to rise for aprroximately 1 hour or until doubled in size (see recipe tips below).
  • Sprinkle semolina over a board and place the dough on top. Use a little extra semolina to roll the dough out until 3cm thick. Use a 9cm round cutter to cut out round circles.
    You'll get apprximately 8 English muffins (make sure they're not rolled out too thin... we want them nice and thick!)
  • Place the muffins onto a tray sprinkled with extra semolina (to stop them from sticking). Leave for 20 minutes to rise again (this time they'll only rise slightly).
  • Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat and sprinkle with extra semolina. Cook the muffins (in batches) for 5-8 minutes either side (until they're golden and risen). Set aside.
  • Once completely cooled, store the muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. When ready to use, cut the muffins in half and place into the toaster. Cook and then serve with eggs or your favourite condiments.

Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
TIPS TO RISE YOUR DOUGH
Once you've made your English muffin dough, it's time to let it rise! Here's a few tips for helping dough to rise:
  • place the dough into a greased bowl or ThermoServer (this will help to remove the dough later on)
  • cover your ThermoServer with a lid. If you don't have a ThermoServer, cover your bowl with a tea towel to trap in the heat.
  • place the bowl or ThermoServer in a warm and draught-free place to rise for approximately 1 hour (or until doubled in size).
  • a warm spot might be in front of a sunny window, on top of a hot water bottle, in front of a fireplace. You can also heat you oven on low and then turn it off before placing your bowl/Thermoserver inside (just make sure it's not too hot or you may melt the lid/cook the dough!)
EXTRA TIPS
  • Cooking the English muffins in a frying pan will par cook them. You will need to cut them in half and cook in the toaster when ready to serve.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze any leftovers for up to 3 months.
  • Allow to defrost before cutting in half and cooking in the toaster.
  • Serve with butter and your favourite spread, or eggs and bacon!

Yes it's really true... here's our top 10 ways that your Thermomix will save you money! From making your own yoghurt to bread, cocktails to butters, dips to pastry and more...

A collage of recipes made in a Thermomix machine.

One of the biggest considerations when buying a Thermomix is weighing up the cost (and at over $2k, there's no doubt that it's a massive expense!) and the ways in which it could save you money (thankfully there's LOTS of them!).

We've included 10 of the top ways that your Thermomix can save you money below.

How Your Thermomix Will Save You Money

1. Butters

Store-bought butter and nut butters can be pricey and also full of additives. Making butter and nut-butters in your Thermomix couldn't be easier (or cheaper).

2. Pizza Bases

Every Friday night is pizza night in our house... so you can imagine how much of a money saver the Thermomix is on those nights!

In fact, you can make your own pizza bases in the Thermomix for around $1.00. That's a huge saving on store-bought pizza bases (or takeaway pizzas).

Thermomix Pizza Dough

Our simple Thermomix pizza dough is always a hit with the family and makes a great option for Friday night 'fake-away'. Create a masterpiece with your favourite toppings.

3. Yoghurt

We're massive yogurt eaters in our house and would easily go through around 2kg a week (on muesli, for a snack, in smoothies etc).

At the supermarket, our favourite yoghurt costs around $7.00 for 600g, whereas you can make 1kg of yoghurt in the Thermie for around $3.00. That's a massive saving for us.

Here's our super easy pot-set yoghurt recipe (including lots of tips for getting it right!).

Thermomix Yoghurt

Our Thermomix Yoghurt tastes just like Jalna vanilla yoghurt... but at a fraction of the cost and made from just 5 ingredients. This recipe can easily be doubled for larger families. 
Thermomix Yoghurt Recipe
Place all ingredients into the Thermomix bowl and mix for 12 minutes, 37 degrees, Speed 3. Meanwhile, fill a ThermoServer with boiling water and set aside. When the yoghurt has finished mixing, pour the water out of the ThermoServer and dry it completely (it will now be warm). Pour the yoghurt into the ThermoServer, cover with the lid and then wrap in a towel or blanket to keep warm. Leave for 12 hours (without opening the lid) in a warm room. Then place into the fridge for at least 3 hours before using.

4. Homemade Bread

Making your own bread, rolls, scrolls, buns and loaves can save you a pretty penny (plus there's no additives or preservatives!

Gourmet olive and parmesan loaves can cost around $8.00 from the bakery, and yet you can make one for around $2.00 in the Thermomix.

Similarly, a dozen rolls in the Thermomix will set you back about the same cost as 2-3 rolls from the bakery.

This is a great way to save money with your Thermomix every day of the week!

Here's a few of our favourite Thermomix breads, rolls and scrolls:

5. Homemade Stock

Vegetable and chicken stocks are a staple in any kitchen and making your own not only saves you money, but you also know exactly what's going into it.

Homemade stock can be frozen in ice-cube trays ready to use whenever needed.

TIP: Ask your consultant to show you how to make homemade stock when they deliver your machine - it's a game changer!

6. Almond Meal

I do a lot of baking, so this one is a huge thing for me! A tiny packet of almond meal at the supermarket is so expensive (around $15.00 for 500g) and yet you can make your own in the Thermomix for just over half that cost.

Plus, we always have almonds sitting in the pantry, so it's easy to whip up a container of almond meal... and it only takes a couple of seconds!

7. Smoothies, Juices & Cocktails

I've certainly been known to pop by Boost Juice for a mid-afternoon pick me up. And while I love their juices and smoothies, one drink can cost over $6.00. Using the Thermomix lets me make 2-3 juices and smoothies for the same price.

Here's a few of our favourite smoothie recipes:

Ooh and lets not forget the HUGE amount of money you can save by making your own cocktails.

We love making cocktails in the Thermomix so much... we've even published TWO cocktail cookbooks!

front covers of cocktails volume 1 and 2 books.

8. Cakes, Biscuits & Slices

If you're someone who buys store-bought cakes, biscuits and slices, then a Thermomix will save you a huge amount of money! Making your own baked goods from scratch is one of the biggest money savers.. plus they'll taste far better too!

Check out some of our most popular cakes, slices and biscuits recipes:

9. Dips

We used to buy dips from the supermarket every single week (at around $5 per dip!). But after buying a Thermomix, there's no way I would buy them again!

Homemade dips are so quick, easy and cheap to make in the Thermomix.

10. Pastry

And lets not forget that the Thermomix makes the most delicious pastry ever... plus it's oh-so-easy.

Best of all, it's so much cheaper than buying frozen sheets from the supermarket.

Once you've made pastry in your Thermomix, you can never, ever go back to store-bought again!!

There are so many other ways that the Thermomix will save you money... whether it's by making your own jams or even laundry powder, or by reducing your gas and electricity bills... it really can save you a whole lot of cash!

Most people say that the savings they make from owning a Thermomix would mean that they would have paid it off within a year!

A bowl of bolognese sauce with a handful of dry spaghetti beside

As a Mum, I am ALL for smuggling in a few extra sneaky vegetables wherever I possibly can - and our Thermomix chunky bolognese is the perfect way to do it.

Just like in our Hidden Vegetable Pasta Bake and our Vegetable Quiche, no one will be any the wiser that you've packed in ALL THE VEGGIES!

This is such a quick, easy and delicious midweek family dinner.

Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

There's a lot of love about this all-time favourite Thermomix chunky bolognese recipe:

  • It's full of vegetables - this is my absolute favourite thing about our Thermomix chunky bolognese (minus the taste of course!). There's so much goodness going on and yet it tastes just like your favourite bolognese.
  • Most popular dinner - ask any kid what their favourite dinner is and 'spag bol' is always going to be near the top of the list! This is a winner - even with the fussiest little eaters.
  • Versatile - don't have celery? No problem! Substitute it with another vegetable. Don't have crushed tomatoes? Use passata instead! You can mix and match with this recipe with ease.
  • Freezer-friendly - our Thermomix chunky bolognese is perfect for meal planning ahead of time and popping in the freezer. Alternatively, you can freeze any leftovers (if there is any!).

What You Need

The ingredients for vegetable and beef bolognese.

Vegetables - we use a mix of onion, carrots, celery, pumpkin and zucchini - however you can use any vegetables you like (see our tips below).

Meat - beef mince and bacon give this chunky bolognese a delicious hearty texture.

Tomatoes - for that classic rich tomato sauce we recommend using crushed tomatoes (wither fresh or tinned) or passata. We also recommend adding tomato paste for added flavour.

Herbs & Seasonings - give your bolognese an extra flavour boost by adding garlic and mixed herbs.

Step By Step Instructions

This simple Thermomix family dinner will be on the table in less than 1 hour.

Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for the full detailed method.

Step 1: Saute

Chop the garlic, onion and bacon and then saute with olive oil until softened.

Step 5: Combine The Meat & Sauce

Very carefully, pour the Thermomix chunky bolognese meat and the sauce into a ThermoServer or container. Mix together until well combined. Serve.

Expert Tips & FAQ

Can I substitute with different vegetables?

Absolutely! You can omit a particular vegetable and replace it with more of another if you like. Mushrooms, sweet potato and baby spinach also work great in this recipe.

Can I leave out the bacon?

Yes, of course! It does add a lovely flavour to the dish however.

Help! I have fussy eaters who don't like vegetables!

This is the recipe for you! For very fussy eaters, we recommend chopping the vegetables for longer until they are very fine. They will then cook down into the sauce and be virtually impossible to spot!

What type of tomatoes are best to use?

If using canned diced or crushed tomatoes, I recommend using the Ardmona brand as it is less watery than other brands. You can also use fresh tomatoes (add a little extra tomato paste if you do). Alternatively, use a jar of passata in place of the diced tomatoes for extra richness and flavour.

How many people does this serve?

This recipes makes a big batch! We find that it serves a family of 2 adults and 3 young kids enough for 2 meals.

Storing

Store any leftover sauce in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Freezing

Freeze the Thermomix chunky bolognese sauce in a container for up to 3 months.

Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
You can use other vegetables in this recipe, mushrooms or sweet potato are also good options.
If you would like your vegetables cut into smaller pieces, simply blitz for longer.
Different brands of crushed tomatoes have different water contents, which can make your bolognese 'watery'. I like to use the Ardmona brand. Alternatively use fresh chopped tomatoes (add an extra 20g of tomato paste if using fresh tomatoes) or passata.
Ensure the sauce does not exceed the fill line at any stage.
This recipe is freezer friendly.

The ingredients for jelly cakes.

For The Vanilla Cakes

  • Butter - you can use salted or unsalted butter. Allow it to soften before using as this allows it to cream easily.
  • Caster Sugar - a superfine sugar perfect for cakes!
  • Vanilla Extract - or vanilla essence
  • Egg - use a large (approx 60g) egg at room temperature
  • Milk - full cream (not light) milk will give you the best texture
  • Self-Raising Flour - this is the rising agent in the recipe

For The Jelly Coating

  • Raspberry Jelly Crystals - I generally use Aeroplane brand jelly. You can substitute the raspberry jelly for any flavour you like.
  • Desiccated Coconut - use fine desiccated coconut not shredded or flaked.

For The Filling

  • Cream - use thickened or heavy cream that is suitable for whipping.

Expert Tips

  • Jelly cakes are best served on the same day that you prepare them. Alternatively you can cook the cakes ahead of time and coat them in jelly/coconut and then fill with whipped cream on the day.
  • Classically, raspberry jelly crystals have been used to make jelly cakes, however you can use any jelly flavour you like.
  • Allow the jelly to thicken for 1-2 hours in the fridge before dipping the cakes in (this will help the jelly to hold onto the cakes better). Do NOT allow the jelly to set - it should be thickened only.
  • Use desiccated coconut (not shredded) to coat the cakes.
  • Do not store the jelly cakes in the fridge as they will dry out. Store unfilled cakes in an airtight container at room temperature and then fill with whipped cream on the day of serving.
  • This recipe is not suitable for freezing.

FAQS

Can I use a different flavour of jelly?

FAQ
