    Given the love you guys have for our Mars Bar Brownies and Mars Bar Slice recipes, I thought it was about time that I shared my easy Thermomix Mars Bar Cheesecake recipe with you all. This no bake Mars Bar Cheesecake is the perfect make ahead dessert (so it would be perfect for Christmas!) and will also cater to a crowd.

    Not only does this cheesecake have delicious pieces of Mars Bar swirled throughout the chocolate centre, it also has extra pieces strewn over the top - ensuring that you get a good amount of Mars Bar with every bite.  What also makes this cheesecake that little bit special is the use of Oreo biscuits in the base - who can say no to Oreos right?!

    You will love:

    Simple ingredients - this Mars Bar Cheesecake is made with just EIGHT ingredients.

    Quick to prepare - you can have this cheesecake ready to place into the fridge in under 15 minutes!

    Make ahead - save time if you are entertaining by making this no bake cheesecake a couple of days in advance, then simply store in an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to serve.

    Ingredients

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

    Mars Bars - you will need 7 x 47 gram Mars Bars for this recipe

    Butter - we use unsalted butter.

    Oreo Biscuits - these can be substituted with Chocolate Ripple Biscuits if you prefer.

    Vanilla Extract - substitute with vanilla essence if preferred.

    Thickened Cream

    Cream Cheese - we recommend using regular, full fat cream cheese rather than a lightened version.

    Caster Sugar

    Powdered Gelatine - this will help the cheesecake keep its shape.

    Ingredients to make Thermomix Mars Bar Cheesecake on a speckled bench top.

    Method

    Step 1. Line the base of a 20cm springform tin and lightly grease the sides. Roughly chop TWO Mars Bars into pieces and set aside until needed.

    Step 2. Add the butter to the Thermomix bowl and cook until melted. Add the biscuits and blitz until crushed.

    Step 4. In a clean Thermomix bowl, add the remaining Mars Bars (chopped into pieces) and mix. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and cook until melted.

    Step 5. Combine the gelatine with ½ cup of boiling water and stir well to combine. Allow to cool.

    Step 6. Add the cream cheese, vanilla extract, cream and caster sugar and mix to combine.

    Step 7. Add ONE of the reserved Mars Bars and mix through.

    Tips for Making our Thermomix Mars Bar Cheesecake

    We use 7 x 47 gram Mars Bars for this recipe. You can also use 'fun size' Mars Bars.

    When melting the Mars Bars, it's best to melt the Mars Bars from room temperature.

    You can substitute the Oreos in the base of this recipe for Chocolate Ripple biscuits if your prefer.

    The  mixing times may vary depending on the softness of your cream cheese and Mars Bars. I suggest using cream cheese and Mars Bars which are both at room temperature and are soft.

    We recommend making this Mars Bar Cheesecake the day before you plan to serve it, while it will set in approximately 8 hours, for best results you want to leave it overnight.

    For best results allow the cheesecake to set overnight.

    FAQ

    What is a Mars Bar?

    In Australia, a Mars Bar is a chocolate bar filled with caramel and nougat.

    How do you stiffen a no bake Cheesecake?

    It is essential to wait a minimum of 6 - 8 hours for your cheesecake to set. Removing it any earlier will result in a soft and runny cheesecake.

    Expert Tips when making this recipe:

    • The time it takes to cream your butter with the sugar mixture can vary, especially if your butter hasn't quite been bought to room temperature.
    • The mixture will be very soft once it has been combined, and you will need a spatula to help remove it from your Thermomix bowl. This is completely normal.
    • It's very important to chill your dough for 45 minutes - 1 hour, as if you don't it will be too soft to roll and cut into shapes.
    • You can add 100s and 1000s to the dough, mix through with a spatula before chilling the dough in the fridge.
    • I like to use a metal egg flip to transfer my sugar cookies from the bench to my baking tray.
    • You can freeze both the uncooked dough and the biscuits for up to one month.

    Tips For Making Yoghurt In The Thermomix

    Use Full Cream Milk

    This results in a thicker yoghurt than skim milk.

    Milk Powder

    Milk powder helps to thicken the yoghurt.

    Use A High Quality Pot Set Yoghurt As The Starter

    We recommend using a high quality pot set yoghurt (like Jalna) as it needs to have active cultures. Once you've made you first batch of yoghurt, you can reserve 100g to use as the starter for the next batch.

    Varying The Amount Of Sugar

    In this recipe we use 40g caster sugar. You can reduce this amount if you prefer a less sweet yoghurt. You can also increase it if you prefer a sweeter yoghurt. It might take a few batches to work out the amount of sugar you like.

    Keep The Yoghurt Warm For 12 Hours

    In order for your yoghurt to be thick and creamy, it needs to be kept warm for 12 hours. I recommend warming a ThermoServer  with boiling water, then pouring out the water and drying it thoroughly before pouring in the yoghurt. I like to then wrap my ThermoServer in a large blanket and place it into a warm room (I use the laundry). The longer the yoghurt is left out of the fridge, the more acidic it will taste. I find that 12 hours is perfect (if you live in a hot climate, 8-10 hours is probably sufficient).

    Store In An Airtight Container In The Fridge

    The yoghurt will continue to thicken up to 24 hours after it's refrigerated.

    Doubling The Recipe

    This recipe can easily be doubled.

    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.

    • 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.

    Notes

    Use a quality brand such as Jalna as your starter culture. 
    Once you've made a batch of yoghurt in your Thermomix, you can use 100g of your homemade yoghurt as the starter for your next batch. 
    You can omit the sugar for an unsweetened version.

    Tips For Making Smoothies In Your Thermomix

    Here's our top tips for making smoothies in your Thermomix:

    • use frozen fruit - this is what gives the smoothies their super creamy texture. If you only have fresh fruit, add a handful of frozen cauliflower (it's flavourless but gives the smoothie it's creaminess).
    • use any model of the Thermomix - all of our recipes are suitable to any and all Thermomix machines.
    • use any kind of milk you like - choose from cow's milk, oat milk, almond milk, soy milk or coconut milk!
    • freeze any over-ripe bananas you have in the fruit bowl - that way you'll be ready to make smoothies anytime you like.
    • break the bananas into smaller chunks before mixing - this helps the blades to mix the bananas into their creamy texture.
    • serve immediately - smoothies are best served immediately!
    • don't go over the MAX line - it's fine to double or triple our smoothie recipes... just don't go over the MAX line (slightly different in each of the Thermomix models).
    • ensure the MC is in place before mixing - this will stop your smoothie mixture from spilling out the top!
    • add a scoop of protein powder - for an extra protein boost!

    Thermomix Yogo

    October 14, 2019

    Homemade chocolate yogo.

    Our Thermomix Yogo takes just a few minutes to make... and tastes just like the store-bought yogo! Made from 4 ingredients - chocolate, milk, egg and cornflour!

    A spoon in chocolate custard.

    This simple yogo recipe is a firm favourite in our house. It's quick and easy to make... and is free from all the additives and preservatives in store-bought yogo. It's a delicious treat that kids (and adults!) will love.

    Chocolate yogo in a bowl.

    What You Need To Make Thermomix Yogo

    • chocolate (I like to use milk chocolate)
    • full cream milk
    • egg
    • cornflour (or you can substitute it for arrowroot/tapioca flour)

    ... that's it! Just 4 ingredients!

    The ingredients needed for Thermomix yogo.

    Small Batch Yogo (can be doubled)

    As I've only got 1 little 3 year old at home, I like to follow this recipe as it makes the perfect amount of yogo for us. It makes about 6-8 small servings.

    However, you can absolutely double this recipe if you're feeding a larger family (or older kids)! Simply add another 2-3 minutes cooking time.

    A container of homemade chocolate yogo.

    How To Stop A 'Skin' Forming On Top

    Once you've made the yogo, it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Once it starts to cool, it will develop a 'skin' on the top (just like custard does). To avoid this from happening, simply press a sheet of plastic wrap/cling wrap directly on top of the yogo.

    Thermomix Vanilla Cake

    September 2, 2019

    Thermomix Vanilla Cake

    A simple Thermomix vanilla cake with homemade buttercream icing - the perfect birthday cake (or afternoon tea treat!). 

    Thermomix Vanilla Cake

    It's no secret that here at ThermoBliss we LOVE a good cake recipe... and this one is no exception! Our Thermomix Vanilla Cake is an absolute classic. It's so simple to make and tastes amazing with our buttercream icing (also made in the Thermomix, of course!).

    A piece of cake with pink icing.

    Best of all, the cake made from basic ingredients that you might already have at home - butter, caster sugar, salt, eggs, vanilla extract and self-raising flour. Plus the buttercream takes just a minute or two to whip up and is made from butter, icing sugar, milk, vanilla extract and a drop of food colouring (optional). This really is such a simple and classic cake recipe.

    If you notice that your cake is browning too quickly while baking, simply pop a loose sheet of foil over the top and continue cooking. The cake is ready when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out with just a few crumbs on it.

    A slice of cake on a plate.

    This cake is a great all-rounder. It can be used for birthday cakes, lunch boxes, morning/afternoon tea treats, cake stalls... anything! It can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months (but I promise it will be eaten well before then!!).

    Thermomix Veggie Packed Pasta Sauce

    August 12, 2019

    Thermomix Veggie Packed Pasta Sauce

    Our Thermomix Veggie Packed Pasta Sauce is easy to make, plus it can be made in advance and frozen!

    Thermomix Veggie Packed Pasta Sauce Recipe

    All three of my boys LOVE any meal with pasta in it, so as you can imagine, it appears pretty frequently in our house - as does this Thermomix Beef and Vegetable Pasta Bake recipe. This Thermomix Veggie Packed Pasta Sauce makes a super easy family meal, can feed a crowd and best of all, you can use up any leftover veggies you may have floating around the fridge.

    A bowl filled with penne in a light tomato based sauce, with finely grated parmesan on top

    This recipe is perfect to make on the weekend when you are clearing out your fridge, as you then have the added bonus of doing some meal prep too.

    What Vegetables Can I use in this Pasta Sauce Recipe?

    It's really up to you! The vegetables I've listed below can certainly be substituted for those your family enjoys or what you have leftover in the fridge, however please note the more vegetables you add to the recipe can impact the texture and cooking time.

    Tips for Making this Thermomix Veggie Packed Pasta Sauce:

    • As mentioned above, you can substitute the vegetables you use for this recipe.
    • I find that the amount of liquid in tinned tomatoes does vary between brands. I have used the Ardmona 'Thick' Tinned Tomatoes for this recipe. If you find your tinned tomatoes to be quite water, you can prolong the cooking time and leave out the extra water.
    • You can store the cooked pasta sauce in a freezer safe container for up to three months.
    • We have also used this pasta sauce as a base sauce for pizzas.

    For more easy dinner ideas, make sure you check out our ThermoBliss Month of Dinners Books 1 and 2 - also available in a bundle pack.

    Recipe Hints and Tips:

    • Different size cake tins can be used for this recipe, however the cooking time will vary.
    • If your cake is not cooked when tested with a skewer, bake for a further 5 - 7 minutes. If concerned about the top of the cake burning, place a piece of foil over the top.
    • Instead of using our icing recipe, you can also top your cake with Chocolate Ganache or store bought chocolate frosting.
    • Make this cake a day or two in advance and store in an airtight container until needed.
    • Freeze this cake (un-iced) for up to two months.

    FAQ

    Can you freeze cakes?

    Yes, cakes can be frozen for up to two months. Store in a freezer safe bag or container.

    Why is my cake dense?

    If you have added too much liquid to your recipe (milk, eggs etc) then your cake will have a dense texture.

    What You Need

    These simple Thermomix Egg & Bacon Quiches are made using just a few basic ingredients.

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

    The ingredients for bacon and egg quiches.
    • Puff Pastry - make your own puff pastry or do as I do and use store-bought frozen puff pastry sheets. Allow them to defrost before using.
    • Cheese - use cheddar or tasty cheese.
    • Bacon - I recommend using streaky bacon in these quiches, however, you can use any cut of bacon you like. You can also use ham if you prefer (if using ham, you can omit the step of cooking the bacon).
    • Eggs - use large eggs (approx 60g each).
    • Milk - I recommend using full fat milk as it gives the quiches a much more delicious texture than light/skim milk. You can also use cream in place of the milk if you prefer.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Let the Thermomix grate, saute and mix for you!

    Note: 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

    • Allow your puff pastry sheets to defrost before pressing into the mini muffin tin.
    • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    FAQs

    Can I use ham instead of bacon?

    Yes, absolutely! If you use ham, you can omit the step of cooking the bacon.

    How will I know if the Thermomix quiches are cooked?

    The pastry will have puffed up (hence the name 'puff pastry) and the quiches will be golden. As they are so small, they don't take long to cook!

    Can I make these ahead of time?

    Of course! Simply store in the fridge or freezer and reheat in a low oven when needed.

    How to Cook Roast Pork in a Thermomix

    We regularly end our week with a roast (quite often it's this Whole Chicken recipe), not only is it a nice (and delicious!) way to prepare for the new week, but it also gives us leftovers for the next day.

    How to Cook Roast Pork in a Thermomix

    I use a pork loin roast when cooking this recipe, however you certainly can use other cuts or sizes of meat, just make sure that they fit in your Thermomix Varoma Basket before you start cooking! Also if you use a larger piece, you will need to extend your cooking time accordingly.How to Cook Roast Pork in a Thermomix

    Tips for How to Cook Roast Pork in a Thermomix

    • This recipe is based on a piece of pork loin approximately 1 kilogram in weight. You can use a larger piece of pork (providing it fits in your Varoma basket of course) however your cooking time will increase and you may need to add extra water to your Thermomix bowl.
    • It's important to remove as much moisture as you can from your pork rind before roasting in the oven.
    • The time it takes for your pork to crackle in the oven may vary depending on the maximum temperature of your oven and variances between ovens.

    June 10, 2019

    A creamy chicken pie.

    For a delicious family dinner, you can't beat our Thermomix Creamy Chicken Pies with bacon and leek... cooked until flaky and crispy in the pie maker!

    A chicken pie cooked in the pie maker.

    Our Thermomix Creamy Chicken Pies make the perfect midweek dinner (and they're always a popular option with the kids!).

    Prepare the filling in your Thermomix and then cook the pies in the pie maker... it doesn't get any easier than that!

    Just like our Thermomix Beef Pies and Thermomix Egg & Bacon Quiche recipes, these flaky savoury pastries make a delicious snack or simple dinner.

    Let's get cooking...!

    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    • Classic Pie Filling - it's very hard to beat a pie with a creamy chicken, bacon and leek filling!
    • Crunchy, Crispy Pastry - Using the pie maker to cook the pies ensures that they're extra flaky and crunchy! If you don't have a pie maker, you can cook them in muffin tins in the oven.
    • Hands-Off Recipe - The Thermomix will saute, mix and cook the filling for you, while the pie maker cooks the pies! All you need to do is cut out the pastry - how simple is that!?
    • Suitable For All Thermomix Models - this recipe can be made in any of the Thermomix models, including the older TM31 and TM5 models or the TM6.

    What You Need

    Our Thermomix Creamy Chicken Pies are packed full of flavour thanks to these delicious ingredients!

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

    The ingredients for Thermomix Creamy Chicken Pies.

    For The Pie Filling

    • leeks - there's no need to thinly slice the leeks, simply chop them into large chunks and let the Thermomix do the fine chopping for you!
    • garlic - use minced garlic or fresh garlic cloves
    • bacon - I recommend using streaky bacon for the recipe
    • butter - for sauteing the bacon, leek and garlic
    • chicken - I recommend using chicken thighs as they stay tender once cooked. Alternatively, chicken breasts can be used
    • cream - I recommend using Bulla cooking cream as it doesn't curdle when cooked
    • chicken stock powder - optional but it adds to the flavour (preferably use low salt chicken stock powder)
    • cornflour - dissolved in water. This thickens the filling before being added to the pastry in the pie maker.

    For The Pastry

    • puff pastry sheets - for the pie bases
    • shortcrust pastry sheets - for the pie tops
    • egg - lightly beaten for brushing over the top of the pastry

    Step By Step Instructions

    While these Thermomix Creamy Chicken Pies may look like bakery-bought ones... they're actually SO easy to make at home!

    Step 1 - Prepare The Filling

    Chop the leeks, garlic and mince in the Thermomix bowl.

    TIP: Continue mixing until it's chopped to your desired texture.

    Expert Tips

    Follow our tips for the perfect Thermomix pies!

    • you can omit the chicken stock powder if you prefer - however, it does add quite a lot of flavour!
    • you can use chicken breasts in place of chicken thighs.
    • I use Bulla cooking cream in this recipe as it doesn't curdle when cooked.   
    • the cornflour (dissolved in a little cold water) ensures that the pie filling is thick enough to place onto the pastry.
    • if you don't have a pie maker, you can cook the pies in a regular muffin tin in the oven.
    • for safety reasons, when sauteing and then cooking the filling, ensure that the MC is removed but the splatter guard or rice basket on top of the lid (this allows steam to escape but stops any splatters).
    • I use a Kmart pie maker which cooks 4 pies at a time - I can get 4 circles out of 1 pastry sheet. If your pie maker makes larger pies, you'll of course, get slightly less pies. 
    • Make the filling ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.
    • Store leftover pies in the fridge for 1 day before reheating thoroughly.
    • Freeze leftover pies for up to 1 month. Allow to defrost before reheating thoroughly.

    FAQs

    What is the MC?

    The MC refers to the measuring cup that sits in the lid of the Thermomix.

    Why do I have to remove the MC during the cooking time in this recipe?

    Once the Thermomix has heated to a certain temperature, steam begins to build up. For safety reasons, it's important to remove the MC when cooking at high temperatures and instead place the splatter guard (TM6) or the rice basked on top of the lid instead. This allows the steam to escape while stopping splatters.

    What You Need

    This budget-friendly Thermomix Tomato Soup is made using a handful of 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 tomato soup.
    • Vegetables - I use brown onion, carrot and celery in our tomato soup recipe. Roughly chop the vegetables before placing into the Thermomix.
    • Garlic - use fresh cloves or jarred minced garlic.
    • Olive Oil - for sauteing the garlic and vegetables.
    • Chicken Stock - use either 2 tablespoons of homemade chicken stock or 2 teaspoons of chicken stock powder.
    • Sugar - adding 1 teaspoon of sugar to the soup takes away the acidic flavour of the tomatoes.
    • Tomatoes - my recipe uses a combination of freshly diced tomatoes and tinned tomatoes.

    How To Make Tomato Soup In A Thermomix

    Just 4 simple steps is all it takes to prepare and cook tomato soup entirely in your Thermomix.

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

    Step 1 - Chop The Vegetables

    Place the roughly chopped onion, carrot and celery into the Thermomix bowl.

    Chop on Speed 6 for 5 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

    Step 4 - Puree

    Allow the soup to cool slightly.

    Slowly increase the speed to puree the soup (see important safety tips below).

    Season with salt and pepper.

    Expert Tips & FAQ

    Do NOT exceed the MAX line

    For safety reasons, do not at any stage allow the ingredients to exceed the max line (remember that TM31 bowls are smaller than TM5 and TM6 bowls, so you'll need to be extra mindful with the smaller bowl). Add your tinned and fresh tomatoes before the water and if you think it's getting close to the MAX line, only add enough water to keep it below the line (it's fine to use less than 400g of water).

    Pureeing the soup

    When pureeing the soup, allow it to cool slightly and then very slowly increase to Speed 6. If the Thermomix starts to shake or splatter, turn it right down and increase the speed even more slowly.

    Can I make tomato soup without a Thermomix?

    Absolutely! Simply follow the instructions in this conventional tomato soup recipe.

    Storing

    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove-top before consuming.

    Freezing

    Freeze any leftover soup in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat directly from frozen or allow to defrost in the fridge before reheating.

    • Thermomix

    Ingredients

    • 180 g brown onion halved
    • 230 g carrot roughly chopped
    • 80 g celery roughly chopped
    • 2 teaspoon minced garlic or 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 30 g olive oil
    • 2 teaspoon chicken stock powder or 2 tablespoons homemade chicken stock concentrate
    • 1 teaspoon sugar caster, raw or white sugar
    • 400 g water see notes
    • 800 g tinned diced tomatoes
    • 400 g fresh tomatoes roughly chopped

    Instructions

    • Place the roughly chopped onion, carrot and celery into the Thermomix bowl. Chop on Speed 6, 5 seconds. 
    • Add the minced garlic and olive oil and saute for 3 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 2. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat for a further 3 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 2. 
    • Add the chicken stock, sugar, water tinned tomatoes and fresh tomatoes and cook for 25 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 1 (see notes). 
    • Allow to cool and then mix until smooth by very slowly increasing to Speed 6 (see notes). 
    • Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately with fresh basil (optional).

    Notes

    RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
    • Chicken Stock - use either 2 tablespoons of homemade chicken stock or 2 teaspoons of chicken stock powder.
    • Do NOT exceed the MAX line - For safety reasons, do not at any stage allow the ingredients to exceed the max line (remember that TM31 bowls are smaller than TM5 and TM6 bowls, so you'll need to be extra mindful with the smaller bowl). Add your tinned and fresh tomatoes before the water and if you think it's getting close to the MAX line, only add enough water to keep it below the line (it's fine to use less than 400g of water).
    • Pureeing the soup - When pureeing the soup, allow it to cool slightly and then very slowly increase to Speed 6. If the Thermomix starts to shake or splatter, turn it right down and increase the speed even more slowly.
    • Storing - Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove-top before consuming.
    • Freezing - Freeze any leftover soup in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat directly from frozen or allow to defrost in the fridge before reheating.

    Thermomix Lemon Herb Chicken

    May 20, 2019

    A whole chicken in the Varoma on top of a Thermomix.

    Our Thermomix Lemon Herb Chicken recipe is the easiest way to cook a whole chicken in the Thermomix, resulting in the most tender fall-apart meat.

    A cooked chicken with lemon herb seasoning.

    One of the best features of the Thermomix (in my opinion!) is it's ability to perfectly steam meat, seafood and veggies!

    By steaming a whole chicken using the Varoma, you'll end up with the most incredibly soft (not tough or chewy!!) meat.

    Serve it with our simple apple coleslaw or our creamy quinoa and vegetable bake.

    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    There's so much to love about our simple family-friendly Thermomix Lemon Herb Chicken recipe!

    • Hands-Off Recipe - this recipe requires just 10 minutes active prep time... then simply set and forget! Let the Thermomix steam your chicken to perfection.

    Thermomix Lamb, Spinach & Feta Gozleme

    May 13, 2019

    A stack of golden chargrilled lamb gozlemes.

    Our famous gozlemes are back and even better than ever... meet our Thermomix Lamb, Spinach & Feta Gozleme - the most delicious dinner (and they're a great way to use up leftover roast lamb!). 

    Pieces of gozleme with lamb, feta and spinach.

    Whenever we have leftover meat from a roast lamb, these gozlemes are on the menu! They're super delicious, easy to make and everyone in the family loves them for dinner!

    This recipe is identical to our classic cheesy spinach and feta gozleme recipe, but with the addition of thinly sliced cooked lamb. You can of course use leftover chicken or beef as well!

    I love to cook these Thermomix Lamb, Spinach & Feta Gozlemes on the BBQ grill to get that smoky grilled taste... but they really are just as yummy cooked in a very hot frying pan!

    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    What's not to love about crunchy gozlemes with a cheesy, spinach and lamb filling!

    • The Perfect Way To Use Up Leftover Roast Lamb - we often have these Thermomix Lamb, Spinach & Feta Gozlemes for dinner on a Monday night.. using leftover roast lamb from the night before!
    • Serve With Your Favourite Homemade Dips - We like to serve our gozlemes with a variety of homemade dips - hummus, tzatziki, baba ghannoush or beetroot dip.
    • Versatile - mix and match with any of your favourite meats - leftover chicken, pork and beef are all great options too!

    WHAT YOU NEED

    Our Thermomix Lamb, Spinach & Feta Gozleme are packed full of flavour AND they're the perfect way to use up leftover roast lamb!

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

    The ingredients for lamb gozlemes.

    FOR THE DOUGH

    • Flour - I recommend using Bakers flour for the best results. Bakers flour is ideal for baking breads and doughs as it has a higher protein content than regular flour.
    • Warm Water
    • Salt - use 1 teaspoon of sea salt
    • Olive Oil - use a mild olive oil

    FOR THE LAMB FILLING

    • Herbs - use fresh parsley and mint (dried herbs do NOT work well in this filling).
    • Spinach - use baby spinach or chop regular spinach into smaller chunks before adding to the Thermomix.
    • Cheese - use cheddar or mozzarella (or a combination of the two). I like to use at lease some mozzarella as it gives that oozy cheesy texture to the gozlemes.
    • Garlic - use pre-minced garlic or mince your own fresh cloves.
    • Lemon juice - freshly squeezed is best, but bottled lemon juice is also fine to use.
    • Feta - choose a soft feta (like Danish feta) or a soft goats cheese.
    • Lamb - this is the perfect recipe to make when you have leftover roast lamb! Simply slice it into thin pieces before using. You can substitute the lamb for leftover chicken or beef if you prefer.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Making Thermomix Lamb, Spinach & Feta Gozleme couldn't be any easier!

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

    STEP 3 - ROLL OUT THE DOUGH & ADD THE FILLING

    Divide the dough into 8 equal sized portions and roll out into a thin circle shape

    (TIP: it doesn't matter what shape you roll out... but the thinner you roll the dough, the crispier your gozlemes will be!).

    Expert Tips

    Our Thermomix Lamb, Spinach & Feta Gozleme is super simple - but SO delicious!

    • Bakers flour will give you the best possible gozlemes... but plain flour will also work!
    • Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes.
    • You can use a cheddar or mozzarella cheese or a combination of the two. I highly recommend using at least a portion of mozzarella as that's what will give you the oozy gooey cheese filling.
    • Choose a soft feta (such as Danish feta) or a goats cheese.
    • You can use thinly sliced leftover roast lamb - or substitute with chicken, beef or pork!
    • Roll the dough out as thinly as you can (the thinner the dough, the crispier your gozlemes will be!
    • Cook the gozlemes on a frying pan or BBQ.

    Yes! This recipe is suitable for all models of the Thermomix.

    What can I substitute the lamb for?

    You can substitute the lamb for any thinly sliced cooked meat - chicken, pork and beef all work well! Alternatively, you can omit the meat entirely.

    • Salt & Pepper - for seasoning the pumpkin and onion.
    • Liquid Vegetable Stock - use a good quality stock (such as Vegeta). You can use store-bought liquid stock or make your own by stirring 1 teaspoon of stock powder through every 1 cup of water.

    Expert Tips

    • You can use any variety of pumpkin you like - I generally like to use butternut, Jap or Kent.
    • Roast the pumpkin until completely softened (it should easily fall apart when pressed with a fork).
    • Season the pumpkin and onion with salt and pepper before roasting.
    • Do not at any stage exceed the MAX line in the Thermomix bowl. This is particularly important if using a TM31 (which has a smaller bowl). If you're nearing the line, use less vegetable stock liquid.
    • Allow the pumpkin to cool slightly before pureeing.
    • For a non-dairy free version, you can use regular cream.
    • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
    • Freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

    Yes you can! It's suitable for use in any of the Thermomix models. Please note that the TM31 has a smaller bowl so you'll need to take extra care not to exceed the MAX line.

    What should I serve with dairy-free pumpkin soup?

    Lots of crusty homemade bread, savoury scrolls and muffins, pull-apart breads... anything that will soak up all of the delicious soup!

    Can I use coconut milk instead of coconut cream?

    Absolutely. Either coconut cream or coconut milk is suitable for use in this recipe.

    • Place the chopped pumpkin and onion onto the baking tray. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 40 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft.
    • Place the cooked pumpkin and onion into the Thermomix bowl and allow to cool slightly. Mix for 15 seconds, Speed 6. 
    • Add half of the vegetable stock (500g) and mix for 20 seconds, Speed 6. Repeat with the remaining 500g of vegetable stock liquid.

    Notes

    RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
    • You can use any variety of pumpkin you like - I generally like to use butternut, Jap or Kent.
    • Roast the pumpkin until completely softened (it should easily fall apart when pressed with a fork).
    • Season the pumpkin and onion with salt and pepper before roasting.
    • Do not at any stage exceed the MAX line in the Thermomix bowl. This is particularly important if using a TM31 (which has a smaller bowl). If you're nearing the line, use less vegetable stock liquid.
    • Allow the pumpkin to cool slightly before pureeing.
    • For a non-dairy free version, you can use regular cream.
    • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
    • Freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

    Expert Tips

    A super cute Thermomix Hot Cross Bun Wreath made with chocolate chips... the perfect Easter breakfast treat!

    Making this wreath is SO easy (it does take a while for the dough to prove so you do need to plan ahead a bit). Simply make the hot cross buns as you normally would, but arrange them in a wreath shape on a flat baking tray and cook in the oven. Decorate with a ribbon tied in a bow... and you have the BEST Easter breakfast!

    Equipment

    • Thermomix
    • Oven
    • Baking Tray

    Ingredients

    For the buns

    • 620 g bakers flour see notes
    • 50 g caster sugar
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon mixed spice
    • 60 g butter
    • 380 g milk
    • 3 teaspoon dry instant yeast
    • 1 egg
    • 100 g milk chocolate chips see notes
    • 100 g extra milk chocolate chips see notes

    For the crosses

    • 90 g bakers flour see notes
    • 100 g water
    • pinch of salt
    • 15 g olive oil

    For the glaze

    • 2 tbs water
    • 2 tbs caster sugar

    Instructions

    • Place the flour, caster sugar, salt, cinnamon, mixed spice and butter into the Thermomix bowl and mix for 5 seconds, Speed 8. Set aside in a seperate bowl. 
    • Add the milk to the Thermomix bowl and heat for 3 minutes, 37 degrees, Speed 1. 
    • Add the dried yeast and mix for 5 seconds, Speed 2. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. 
    • Add the flour mixture that you set aside and the egg to the Thermomix bowl and mix 10 seconds, Speed 7 or until combined. 
    • Mix on Interval/Knead function for 2 minutes. Add the chocolate chips and mix on Interval/Knead function for a further minute (see notes). 
    • Set the dough aside in a ThermoServer or bowl covered with a tea towel and place into a warm spot. Leave for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size. 
    • Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan-forced). 
    • Place the dough back into the Thermomix on Interval/Knead function for 3 minutes. 
    • Divide the dough into 16 even sized balls. Place into a round wreath shape on a flat and baking paper lined tray. Place back into a warm spot to prove for a further 30 minutes. 
    • To make the piping paste, place all of the piping ingredients into a clean Thermomix bowl and mix for 20 seconds, Speed 4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for a further 10 seconds. 
    • Pipe crosses onto the hot cross buns, sprinkle over the extra chocolate chips and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. 
    • To make the glaze, heat the water and sugar in the Thermomix for 2 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 4. Brush over the still-warm hot cross buns. 

    Notes

    The first 100g of chocolate chips will melt completely while the dough is kneading and proving - this is absolutely fine and gives the hot cross buns a beautiful chocolate flavour. You can also then sprinkle some extra chocolate chips over the top just before cooking. 
    Bakers flour will give you the best result - but you can substitute for regular plain flour if you wish. 
    You can substitute the chocolate chips for 200g dried fruit if you prefer.

    Expert Tips

    We LOVE our Thermomix Beef Pies recipe and think you will too!

    • Ensure the MC is removed - and the splatter guard or rice basket is in place over the MC hole. This is for safety reasons and allows the steam to escape.
    • I like to use shortcrust pastry on the base and puff pastry on the top... but you can use one type of pastry if you prefer.
    • Vegemite adds a rich flavour to the sauce - however, you can omit it if you prefer.
    • Cornflour helps to thicken the sauce.
    • You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
    • These pies can be cooked in the pie maker or in a muffin tin in the oven.
    • Store leftover pies in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

    FAQs

    How can I cook these pies?

    Our Thermomix Beef Pies can be cooked in a pie maker or in a muffin tray in the oven.

    Can I make this beef pie recipe using an older Thermomix model?

    Yes absolutely! This recipe is suitable for all Thermomix models.

    Why do I need to remove the MC (measuring cup)?

    This is for safety reasons. When cooking at high temperatures using the Thermomix, steam can build up when the MC is in place. Removing the MC and placing the rice basket or splatter guard over the MC hole allows steam to escape, while stoping splatters.

    What You Need

    Just 3 ingredients!

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

    The ingredients for fudge.
    • White Chocolate - use a good quality white chocolate (such as Lindt, Cadbury or Nestle)
    • Sweetened Condensed Milk - use full fat (not skim) condensed milk as it sets firmer. I recommended using Nestle brand for best results.
    • Mini Eggs - I like to use Speckled Eggs as they give a bright, colourful look to the fudge! However, if you prefer you can use any mini eggs you like (such as Caramilk, creme eggs, Top Deck etc).

    You can also make this recipe ahead of time and store it in the fridge. To help stop a 'skin' from forming, simply place a piece of cling wrap directly on the surface of the custard.

    We like to enjoy this Chocolate Custard as is, although it's also really yummy when you add some sliced banana or strawberries, kind of like a 'healthier' chocolate dip. If you are after something a little sweeter, make sure you try our Thermomix Caramel Custard - you will LOVE it!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Flour - use plain (all purpose) flour.
    • Bi-carbonate of soda and baking powder - these are the rising agents in the recipe.

    It couldn't be easier to make White Chocolate & Cranberry Cookies in your Thermomix!

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

    Step 4 - Chill The Dough

    Place the Thermomix bowl with the dough into the fridge and chill for 30 minutes.

    Chilling the dough reduces the amount of spreading the cookies will have when baked. Please note: This step is optional but highly recommended.

    Step 5 - Bake

    Bake the cookies for 12 - 15 minutes or until just lightly golden (do not overcook).

    Allow to cool on the baking trays for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Expert Tips

    • Chop the butter into chunks before adding to the Thermomix (this is will it to melt quicker).
    • Use your egg is at room temperature before using.
    • You can use quick oats in place of rolled oats if you prefer.
    • Allow the cookie dough to chill in the fridge before using. This helps to avoid the cookies from spreading too much when baked.
    • Do not overcook the cookies - they will be soft when removed from the oven but will harden slightly upon cooling.
    • Store the Thermomix White Chocolate & Cranberry Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
    • Freeze baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
    • Freeze unbaked cookie dough in a log shape wrapped in cling wrap for up to 3 months.

    FAQs

    Is this Thermomix White Chocolate & Cranberry Cookies recipe suitable for use in all models of the Thermomix?

    Yes! Absolutely!

    Why do I have to use the REVERSE function after adding the chocolate chips, cranberries and oats?

    The Reverse function mixes rather than chops... and we want the add-ins to stay whole!

    Do I have to chill the dough?

    This step is optional but HIGHLY recommended. If you don't chill this cookie dough, the cookies will spread considerably when baked - leaving you with flat, large cookies (whereas we want BIG FLUFFY cookies!).

    Expert Tips

    Making Thermomix chocolate chip biscotti is SO easy!

    • Use the kneading/Interval function to knead the dough
    • Lightly grease your hands with cooking oil before shaping the logs (this will stop the mixture from sticking to you)
    • You can substitute the chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruit.
    • Double bake the biscotti. Bake it in the logs, then allow to cool completely, cut into thin slices and then bake again. This gives you the ultimate, classic crunch.

    FAQs

    Why is my biscotti not crunchy?

    If your biscotti is not crunchy, it means that it hasn't been baked the second time around for long enough. It's important to thinly slice the cooked biscotti and then bake it again.

    Can I omit the chocolate chips?

    Yes! Or you can substitute them for nuts or dried fruits.

    Equipment

    • Thermomix
    • Oven

    Ingredients

    • 250 grams plain flour
    • 30 grams cocoa powder
    • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • 160 grams caster sugar
    • 90 grams almond meal
    • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 3 eggs
    • 200 grams white chocolate chips

    Instructions

    • Pre-heat your oven to 160 degrees celsius and line two trays with baking paper.
    • Place the plain flour, baking powder, cocoa, caster sugar and almond meal into your Thermomix bowl and mix for 10 seconds, Speed 8.
    • Scrape down the sides of your bowl and add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix for 10 seconds, Speed 4.
    • Using the kneading (interval) function, mix for 1 minute before adding the white chocolate chips and kneading for a further 1 minute or until a dough has formed.
    • Place the dough onto a Thermomat (or your bench) and divide into two even pieces. Use your hands to shape into a log and gently flatten. Place the logs onto the baking trays and bake for 35 minutes.

    What You Need

    Just a handful of basic ingredients are needed to make our Thermomix Pull Apart Bread...

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

    The ingredients for Thermomix Sundried Tomato Pesto & Cheese Pull Apart Bread.
    • Water - ensure the water is lukewarm (not too hot) so that the yeast will activate
    • Flour - Bakers flour is best when baking loaves, rolls and bread, however, you can use regular plain flour if you prefer
    • Salt
    • Yeast - check that your yeast is in date and active before using it in the dough
    • Olive oil - use a regular light extra virgin olive oil
    • Pesto - I like to use a sundried tomato pesto for this recipe, however, you can use a basil or rocket pesto if you prefer
    • Cheese - I use a combination of grated cheddar/tasty cheese and mozzarella cheese. The mozzarella is important as it gives the scrolls an extra cheesy taste!

    Step By Step Instructions

    It takes just 10 minutes active prep time to make our Thermomix scrolls.

    • Feel Free To Substitute - you can use a different flavour of pesto if you prefer! Or mix things up and add feta cheese, some baby spinach or even salami or ham!

    FAQs

    Can I make these scrolls gluten free?

    Yes you can! Use gluten free plain flour and 1 teaspoon of xantham gum for every 1 cup of flour.

    What should I serve with scrolls?

    A big bowl of soup is my favourite option! Soak up all of the delicious soup with plenty of our Thermomix pull apart bread.

    Should these be served warm or cold?

    Our pull apart bread is best served warm while the rolls are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

    Thermomix Christmas Wreath Biscuits

    October 31, 2018

    2 Christmas Wreath Shaped Biscuits with Red, Silver and Green decorations.

    Our Thermomix Christmas Wreath Biscuits make a great homemade Christmas gift!

    If you are looking for a great Christmas cooking activity to do with the kids, these Thermomix Christmas Wreath Biscuits are for you! They will love helping you make and then decorate these biscuits and you can even then give the biscuits they have decorated to their friends or school teachers.  You can really use whatever decorations you like for these Christmas Wreath Biscuits, although I really think you can't go wrong with the 'Writing Icing' Pens and coloured M&M's (just like I used for our Thermomix Christmas Biscuits recipe) you can get from the supermarket!

    This recipe will make approximately 20 Thermomix Christmas Wreath Biscuits, however you can use cutters which are either smaller or bigger than what I used, just keep an eye on your biscuits though as the cooking time will vary.

    As well as being a wonderful homemade gift ( you can also find more Thermomix homemade Christmas gift ideas here), these Christmas Wreath Biscuits will also look lovely on your Christmas Tree - just make sure the kids don't eat them too quickly though!

    Enjoy!

    You can find more great Christmas recipes in our 'No Bake Christmas Recipes' eBook available here. We also have a Christmas eBook bundle which you can check out here.

    Equipment

    • Thermomix
    • Oven

    Ingredients

    • 185 grams butter
    • 220 grams caster sugar
    • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 375 grams plain flour
    • 1 egg
    • 1 egg yolk

    Decorations

    • Writing Icing Pens
    • Red and Green M&Ms
    • Cachous
    • Candy Canes
    • Ribbon

    Instructions

    • Line two trays with baking paper and set aside until needed
    • Place the butter, caster sugar and vanilla extract into your Thermomix bowl and mix for 30 seconds, speed 3.
    • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for a further 20 seconds, speed 3 until the mixture is pale and creamy.
    • Add the flour, egg and extra egg yolk and and mix for 10 seconds, speed 4.
    • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and select the ‘kneading’ function and knead for 2 minutes.
    • Turn the dough out onto a bench which as been dusted with flour or a Thermomat and lightly knead to bring it into a ball and wrap in cling wrap. Pop it into the fridge for 30 mins to chill.
    • Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius and roll out dough (to a thickness of 5mm) between two sheets of baking paper. Use an 10cm biscuit cutter before using the 4cm cutter in the centre to make the ‘wreath’. Use a skewer to make a small hole in the top of the dough (this is where you will thread the ribbon through) and use an egg flip to carefully transfer the biscuit onto your prepared baking tray. Repeat until you have used all of the dough.
    • Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits begin to turn golden around the edges. Leave the biscuits to cool on the trays for 10 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
    • Once completely cool, cut a small piece of the ribbon and thread it through the hole you made in the top of the biscuit (if it has closed a little during baking you can use the skewer to carefully make it bigger) and use the icing and decorations to decorate your Christmas Wreath Biscuits as desired.

    Notes

    You can make this dough a couple of days in advance and store in the fridge until needed.
    These biscuits will keep in an airtight container for up to one week

    Thermomix Christmas Wreath Meringues

    October 10, 2018

    A Green Christmas Meringue Wreath with silver balls and lolly mint leaves and a lolly raspberry for decoration. Sitting on a white and grey marble bench top.

    These Thermomix Christmas Wreath Meringues make a fun Christmas party food treat and they are also a great homemade gift!

    For a fun Christmas recipe, you can't go past these easy Thermomix Christmas Wreath Meringues.  All you need is a few ingredients and a little patience while they cook and then cool and you'll be enjoying these yummy meringues in no time.

    When making this recipe, it's REALLY important to make sure your Thermomix bowl, blades and butterfly attachements are SUPER clean. If there is any food/residue/moisture on them then your egg whites won't whip nicely.  It's also important to make sure you are using egg whites which are at room temperature to help you get the fluffliest mixture possible.

    You can make this recipe a day or two in advance and then store in an airtight container, however I'd try to make these as close to when you need them as possible as heat/humidity is no friend to meringues!!

    • Wash and dry the Thermomix bowl so that it is completely clean and there is no moisture whatsoever remaining - it's really important that your bowl is clean and dry.
    • Add the room temperature egg whites to your Thermomix bowl and insert the butterfly attachment.
    • Mix for 3 minutes, 50 degrees, speed 3. If soft peaks haven't quite formed, mix for a further 1 minute, 50 degrees, speed 3.
    • Keep your Thermomix running and reduce to Speed 2.5 and add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time through the measuring cup hole - this will take a further 3-4 minutes approximately.
    • Once all the sugar has been added, add a couple of drops of the green food gel and mix for 10 seconds, speed 2.5 to combine.
    • Transfer the mixture to a large piping bag that has a star shaped attachment and pipe out your 'wreaths' onto the prepared baking trays.
    • Add the raspberry and mint leaf lollies to create the 'holly leaf' and repeat until all of the mixture has been used.
    • Place the baking trays into your preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until slightly firm to the touch. Turn off your oven and leave the door ajar while the Thermomix Christmas Wreath Meringues completely cool.

    Notes

    These Christmas Wreath Meringues can be stored in an airtight container for 3 - 4 days.

    When it comes to delicious desserts, it's hard to be our Thermomix Baked Lemon Cheesecake. This is certainly a family favourite in our house.

    A simple and delicious Thermomix Baked Lemon Cheesecake.. the perfect dessert for any occasion!

    This recipe is a variation on my Classic New York Baked Cheesecake (which is equally as delicious, but has more of a creamy vanilla flavour rather than lemony like this one!).

    The trick to getting this cheesecake absolutely perfect is to turn off the oven once it's cooked and leave it in there for 2 hours before transferring to the bench to cool completely. Allowing the cheesecake to cool slowly this way will stop it from sinking or cracking.

    Equipment

    • 1 x 23cm Springform Pan

    Ingredients

    • 350 grams plain sweet biscuits (like Arnott's Nice)
    • 250 grams butter
    • 750 grams cream cheese at room temperature
    • 215 grams caster sugar
    • finely grated lemon rind from 3 lemons
    • 65 grams lemon juice
    • 2 tbs plain flour
    • 4 eggs room temperature
    • 300 grams sour cream

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 160°C (140 degrees if using fan-forced).
    • Grease and then line the base and of a 23cm springform pan with non-stick baking paper. 
    • Place the butter (chopped) into the Thermomix bowl and melt on Speed 2, 80 degrees, 3 minutes (or until melted). Add the biscuits and mix on Speed 8, 10 seconds or until completely combined.
    • Spoon half of the biscuit crumbs onto the base of the prepared tin. Use a glass to press the mixture town evenly (you will also need to use a spoon to press the edges down firmly).
      Press the remaining half of the mixture firmly up the sides of the pan (leaving a small 1cm gap near the top). Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
    • In a clean and dry Thermomix bowl, set the Thermomix to 37 degrees, 25 minutes, Speed 3. Note: it will NOT take 25 minutes, but by setting it for this long will keep it at the right temperature while you add in the other ingredients).
    • With the blades turning, place the cream cheese into the TM bowl and mix until well combined. Slowly add in the caster sugar, followed by the flour and eggs and mix until just combined.
    • Place the butterfly attachment into the bowl (with the cream cheese mixture in it). Turn onto Speed 3 and slowly add in the grated lemon rind, lemon juice and sour cream. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix until completely smooth (don't over mix).
    • Gently pour the cream cheese mixture into the base of the tin.
    • Place the the tin onto a baking tray and bake for 1 ¼ hours. Do not open the oven during the cooking time or the cheesecake will crack and sink.
    • Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake in the oven, with the door slightly ajar, for 2 hours. Place the cheesecake onto the bench until completely cooled before placing into the fridge (still in the baking tin).
    • After a minimum of 4 hours in the fridge (preferably overnight), carefully remove the cheesecake from the baking tin and take off the baking paper.
    • Serve with icing sugar, whipped cream or fresh berries.
