    4. Carefully transfer the dough onto your bench, you will need to use a spatula to scrape the mixture out of the Thermomix bowl - this is completely normal. Use your hands to shape into a ball before popping into the fridge to chill.

    5. Roll out the dough and use your favourite biscuit cutter before placing onto baking trays.

    6. Roll out the dough and use your favourite biscuit cutter before placing onto baking trays. Place into your preheated oven to bake until slightly golden on the edges.

    Tips for Making Gingerbread in a Thermomix:

    1. If you use a traditional gingerbread cutter this recipe will make around 20 gingerbread biscuits.
    2. If you use a different shaped biscuit cutter the cooking time will vary.
    3. Your mixture will be very soft when removing from the Thermomix bowl, this is why it is important to chill the dough before rolling out and cutting.
    4. I find it easiest to roll the dough out on a Thermomat and place a piece of baking paper between the dough and my rolling pin to help keep the surface of the dough smooth.
    5. These biscuits are best stored in an airtight container and enjoyed within one week.
    6. You can freeze both the cooked biscuits and the dough for up to two months.

    FAQ

    Can I use this recipe to make a Gingerbread House?

    Yes you sure can! You will need to keep an eye on the Gingerbread and remove from the oven when the edges are golden.

    Yes, both the dough and the cooked biscuits can be frozen for up to two months.

    What You Need

    Just 6 ingredients are needed to make our Thermomix Baileys...

    • cream - it's important to use a cream that doesn't whip (like a cooking cream)
    • sweetened condensed milk - for the best results, choose the full fat sweetened condensed milk (not skim)
    • Irish whiskey - choose any brand of Irish whiskey you like (such as Jameson's)
    • chocolate topping - use chocolate topping, syrup or sauce to give the Thermomix Baileys it's subtle chocolate flavour
    • vanilla extract - or vanilla essence
    • coffee - use 1 teaspoon of instant coffee granules (they will dissolve in the liquid)

    Step By Step Instructions

    It takes just 2 minutes to make our Thermomix Baileys recipe!!

    Step 1 - Mix

    Place all ingredients into the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 30 seconds, Speed 4.

    TIP: You don't want to 'whip' the cream as the mixture will become curdled. Start your Thermomix on Speed 2 and slowly increase to Speed 4. If you notice this happening, turn the speed back down and continue to mix until just combined. If your mixture does appear curdled, simply pour it through a sieve and then allow the drained liquid to settle. Scrape any excess off the top with a spoon.

    Step 2 - Pour Into Sterilised Jars

    Pour the Baileys into sterilised jars, seal and refrigerate.

    Expert Tips

    Help! My Baileys has curdled!

    It's important to only slowly increase the Speed on the Thermomix to avoid curdling. If you notice the mixture curdling, turn the Speed down.
    If your mixture has curdled, simply strain it through a sieve and discard the curdled part.

    Sterilising Jars

    To sterilise jars in your Thermomix, add 500ml of water to your Thermomix bowl and place the Varoma on top. Put the jars and their lids separately on the bowl and tray of your Varoma. Heat for 20 minutes, Varoma, Speed 3. Remove the jars and place them onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.

    How long will my Baileys last?

    You can store the homemade Baileys in sealed and sterilised jars in the fridge for up to 2 months. Once opened, continue to store in the fridge and consume within 1 week.

    3. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Place into the fridge to set.

    Expert Tips

    • This is a soft fudge, I recommend using a full fat sweetened condensed milk to help the fudge set properly as light versions will result in a softer fudge.
    • The brand of sweetened condensed milk that you use can also impact the consistency of your fudge, I have good results using Nestle brand.
    • You can use a different size/shape tin to set your fudge in, the thickness will change.
    • I suggest using a good quality white chocolate rather than cooking chocolate for this recipe.
    • It is really important to work quickly when adding the pistachios and cranberries as the fudge mixture does begin to set quickly. 
    • Also as tempting as it may be to try and cut this fudge after a few hours, it’s best to wait until the next day to make sure it’s completely set.
    • To store, keep in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within two weeks.

    Thermomix Festive Jelly Slice

    November 12, 2015

    Red and green jelly layers on pieces of a jelly slice.

    This Thermomix Festive Jelly Slice will make the perfect dessert for your Christmas parties this year!  It's no-bake and while it's a little time consuming waiting for the jelly to set, it really is so easy to put together.

    Red and green jelly layers on pieces of a jelly slice.

    When putting this Thermomix Jelly Slice together, make sure that you use a DEEP slice tray as you want your tin to be deep enough to fit the two layers of jelly.  I’d also recommend putting your slice tray onto a larger oven tray to move it in and out of the fridge, otherwise you may end up with jelly on the floor which is NOT fun - believe me!

    Expert Tips

    Follow our tips for the perfect Thermomix Almond Shortbread!

    • When making shortbread, it's really important to roll your dough on a cool bench, otherwise the butter will soften too much and make the dough sticky and difficult to work with.
    • The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the cookie cutter that you use. I recommend checking your shortbread after 10 minutes and then every 2 minutes after that as it doesn't take long to overcook it.
    • Store - in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 10 days.

    FAQ

    Can I make this shortbread recipe nut-free?

    Of course! Simply omit the almonds!

    Does this recipe need chilling?

    No, it doesnt! However, if you are in a warm climate, it may help to chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling out and cutting.

    Notes

    RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
    • When making shortbread, it's really important to roll your dough on a cool bench, otherwise the butter will soften too much and make the dough sticky and difficult to work with.
    • The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the cookie cutter that you use. I recommend checking your shortbread after 10 minutes and then every 2 minutes after that as it doesn't take long to overcook it.
    • Store - in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 10 days.
    • Freeze - cooked or oncooked shortbread in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

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

    The ingredients for a peanut butter chocolate slice.
    • Rice Malt Syrup - use rice malt syrup or replace with honey if you prefer.
    • Rice Bubbles - or any puffed rice.

    • Chocolate - use milk or dark chocolate for melting over the top.

    Expert Tips

    • adding coconut oil/vegetable oil to the chocolate when melting, helps to stop the chocolate from cracking when cut.
    • chill in the fridge for 1 hour or until set.
    • store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
    • this slice needs to be kept in the fridge so that the rice bubble base stays crunchy.

    FAQs

    Can I make this using an older Thermomix model?

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

    How do I make sure my slice base is crunchy?

    Firstly, ensure that you use a new (unopened) box of rice bubbles - older rice bubbles will taste stale and have lost their crunch.
    Secondly, ensure the slice is kept stored in the fridge.

    Expert Tips

    • We recommend using medjool dates rather than dried pitted dates as they are softer and have more moisture, helping to stick the bliss balls together. If you do use dried pitted dates, you may need to soak them in hot water to soften before using.
    • You can use any combination of nuts you like. We like almonds, cashews, walnuts and pecans.
    • The maca powder is optional and can be omitted without any substitutions.
    • Store the bliss balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
    • Freeze bliss balls for up to 3 months (they'll only take a few minutes to defrost).
    • This recipe can be doubled or tripled.

    FAQs

    Can I use dried pitted dates instead of medjool dates?

    Medjool dates are the best choice for bliss balls as they're larger, softer and container more moisture. If you do use dried pitted dates, try soaking them in hot water before using. You may also need to add a small amount of honey or rice malt syrup if the mixture is too dry.

    What nuts are best for bliss balls?

    You can use any variety of nuts you like! Typically, almonds, cashews, walnuts or pecans are used.

    Can you freeze bliss balls?

    Yes! Bliss balls are an excellent snack for freezing. They take just a couple of minutes to defrost, making them a great 'grab and go' snack.

    Thermomix Cheesy Spinach & Feta Gozlemes

    October 5, 2015

    A stack of spinach and feta gozlemes.

    If you're a fan of oozy gooey cheesy treats, then this is the recipe for you! Our Thermomix Cheesy Spinach & Feta Gozlemes are perfectly crispy on the outside and oh-so-deliciously cheesy on the inside.

    A pile of crunchy vegetarian gozleme.

    There's a few Thermomix dinner recipes that are on high rotation in our house... and this is one of them!

    These Thermomix Cheesy Spinach & Feta Gozlemes make a great vegetarian option for dinner (or add some leftover lamb if you prefer!).

    We like to serve our gozlemes with a variety of homemade dips - hummus, tzatziki, baba ghannoush or beetroot dip.

    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    Our gozleme recipe makes a delicious option for lunch or dinner!

    • Quick & Easy - Our Thermomix Cheesy Spinach & Feta Gozlemes recipe is super quick and easy to make. You simply whip up a basic dough in the Thermomix and set it aside. Then use the Thermomix again to make the filling. It couldn't be easier!
    • Suitable for BBQ or Frying Pan - You can cook our cheesy gozleme on the BBQ or in a frying pan (use the BBQ on hot summer nights, or stay warm in the kitchen during winter!).
    • Versatile - Our gozleme recipe is filled with a delicious spinach and feta filling, however, you can mix and match with whatever fillings you like (why not add in a little leftover lamb or chicken?). Yum!

    What You Need

    It takes just a handful of basic pantry staples to make our Thermomix Cheesy Spinach & Feta Gozlemes.

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

    The ingredients for spinach and feta 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 Cheesy Spinach 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

    Step By Step Instructions

    You won't believe how simple it is to make our Thermomix Cheesy Spinach & Feta Gozlemes!

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

    Step 1 - Prepare The Dough

    Place the dough ingredients into the Thermomix bowl. Mix to combine.

    Step 3 - Roll Out The Dough & Add The Filling

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

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

    Place an ⅛th of the filling on to one side of the dough and fold the other side over to enclose.

    Expert Tips

    Follow our top tips for the perfect Thermomix brioche buns!

    • Use Bakers flour or bread flour. This will give you the best, softest buns! If you don't have bread flour, you 'can' use regular plain flour but your buns wont be quite as good!
    • Check your yeast to make sure that it's still active and in date before using.
    • Allow the dough to rise in a warm spot until doubled in size. If you live in a cool climate, you can always place a hot water bottle under the base of the ThermoServer.
    • If you don't have a ThermoServer, you can place the dough into a large bowl and cover the top with a tea towel.
    • Brushing the tops of the dough buns with a mix of egg whites and water before baking will ensure that they have a lovely golden, crunchy top once baked.
    • The cooking time will depend on your oven and also the size of your buns. Cook for 20-30 minutes or until the buns are golden on top and sound hollow when tapped.
    • Our Thermomix brioche buns are best served on the day of baking, but they can be stored in a bread bag or wrapped in a tea towel for 1-2 days.

    FAQ

    Do I really need to use a clean and dry Thermomix bowl?

    Yes this is essential for milling the sugar as well as for whipping the egg whites and cream of tartar.

    What happens if my egg whites are cold?

    The quickest and easiest way to whip egg whites is when they are at room temperature. Try to remove them from the fridge at least an hour before using.

    What can I make with my meringue?

    The options are endless!!! Lemon meringue pie, pavlova, Christmas mini wreaths and more!

    How long will my baked meringues last?

    Thermomix Cinnamon Cake

    September 22, 2015

    Cinnamon Cake baked in a bundt tin sitting on a cream cake stand.

    Is there anything better than the smell of a freshly baked cake, especially one made from cinnamon?  This simple Thermomix Cinnamon Cake will fill your kitchen with the lovely aroma cinnamon while it bakes, just teasing you for what is to come when you finally try a piece

    Cinnamon Cake baked in a bundt tin sitting on a cream cake stand.

    I think this cake is best served as it is straight from the oven, however you could fancy it up a little and brush a little melted butter over the cake while it's still warm and sprinkle with some more cinnamon and sugar.

    Why you will love this recipe:

    • Made with pantry staples - you will need just six basic ingredients to put this delicious cake together.
    • Perfect for any occasion - from a yummy lunchbox snack to a special afternoon tea treat, this Cinnamon Cake has you covered!
    • Versatile - this cake can be baked in a variety of cake tins. I love to make it in a bundt tin but it can also be baked in a round or loaf cake tin.
    • Freezer friendly - store in the freezer for up to two months.

    Ingredients

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

    • Butter - we use unsalted butter for this recipe. It is important to ensure your butter is at room temperature before starting this recipe.
    • Caster Sugar - also known as superfine sugar.
    • Eggs - 70 gram eggs were used for this recipe.
    • Self-Raising Flour - you can use plain flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder added.
    • Cinnamon
    • Milk - either full cream or skim milk can be used.
    Ingredients needed to make a Cinnamon Cake in a Thermomix.

    HOW TO MAKE A CINNAMON CAKE IN A THERMOMIX:

    Step 1. Combine the butter and sugar until pale and creamy.

    Butter and Caster Sugar combined in a Thermomix bowl.

    Step 2. Add the remaining ingredients and combine.

    Step 4. Bake until golden and cooked through when tested with a skewer.

    RECIPE HINTS AND TIPS

    • It is important to use butter which has been slightly softened when making this cake. If the butter is too firm it will take longer to incorporate with the caster sugar.
    • The cake pictured was baked in a 22cm bundt tin. Please note you can also use a 22cm round tin or a large loaf pan to make this Cinnamon Cake. The cooking time will however vary. I suggest checking your cake after 25 minutes.
    • For extra flavour, you can brush melted butter over the cake while it is still warm. Then lightly sprinkle with caster sugar and cinnamon.
    • Store this cake in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to five days. 
    • To freeze, place in a freezer safe container (or wrap with foil) and store for up to two months.
    What does Cinnamon do to a cake?

    Along with giving your cake flavour, the addition of cinnamon will also colour the cake.

    What makes a cake fluffy?

    The combining of the butter and sugar is what helps to give cakes such as this Cinnamon Cake its light and fluffy texture.

    Thermomix Ricotta & Raspberry Cake

    Thermomix Ricotta & Raspberry Cake

    A while ago, Thermomix Australia asked me to create a cake to promote their #ThermomixBakeOff competition. And so of course, I said yes. I mean, who wouldn't say yes to making a cake!!! Anyway, I ended up making a Thermomix Ricotta & Raspberry Cake - and you might have seen it in the Thermomix Australia newsletter or being featured on the Recipe Community.

    Thermomix Ricotta & Raspberry Cake

    Anyway, I love this cake. It's deliciously simple, tastes amazing and the raspberries give it the perfect balance. In other words, it's a really, really yummy cake.

    Thermomix Ricotta & Raspberry Cake

    This will take you no time at all to whip up (and yet it looks super impressive!). You can serve it at room temperature all by itself, or warm it up with a scoop of ice-cream or a dollop of cream.

    Expert Tips

    • If you don't have Arnott's Marie biscuits, you can substitute them for any plain sweet biscuits.
    • We recommend using full fat (not skim) sweetened condensed milk as it sets firmer.
    • Add 1 tbs of coconut oil or vegetable oil to the chocolate when melting it for the topping. This helps to stop the chocolate from cracking when you cut the slice into pieces.
    • Remove the slice from the fridge 20 minutes before cutting (this makes it easier to slice into pieces).
    • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
    • Freeze for up to 3 months.
    • Allow the slice to defrost in the fridge before consuming (or place frozen pieces directly into lunchboxes and they'll be defrosted by morning tea).

    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    • Freezer-Friendly - This recipe freezes really well so it's a great idea to make one on the weekend and freeze it in individual portions for a 'grab and run' lunch on the go.
    • Versatile - This is a really versatile recipe, so you can substitute the bacon for salami, add in a bit of feta, baby spinach or sun-dried tomatoes, or even use leftover roast chicken and corn.
    • Cheats Version - I like to use a basic olive oil pastry for this recipe - which is incredibly simple to make in the Thermomix. But if you're running short on time, you can always grab a pre-made pastry shell from the supermarket or use 2 sheets of defrosted shortcrust pastry.

    What You Need

    5 basic ingredients are required to make our Thermomix Egg & Bacon Quiche recipe!

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

    The ingredients for a quiche.
    • Pastry - you can either make a batch of our olive oil pastry using this recipe or you can use 2 sheets of defrosted shortcrust pastry to save time.
    • Eggs - use large eggs (approx 60g each)
    • Bacon - choose a less fatty bacon (like shortcut instead of streaky) to avoid excess oil in the quiche.
    • Cheese - I recommend using a combination of cheddar and parmesan, but you can use all cheddar if you prefer.
    • Milk - or substitute for cream for a richer and creamier quiche.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Make your own homemade pastry for the ultimate flaky, buttery quiche... or take a shortcut and use defrosted shortcrust pastry sheets instead!

    The choice is yours...!

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

    Step 1 - Chop The Bacon

    Expert Tips

    It's so easy to make our Thermomix Egg & Bacon Quiche when you follow our tips:

    • for the BEST quiche, take the time to make our olive oil pastry recipe
    • if you don't have time for homemade pastry, use 2 sheets of defrosted shortcrust pastry instead
    • it's important to blind-bake the pastry (or pastry sheets) first so that the pastry becomes flakey and doesn't go soggy when the filling is added
    • substitute the milk for cream for an ultra creamy quiche
    • store in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 2 days
    • freeze for up to 3 months
    • place the quiche into the fridge overnight to defrost before thoroughly reheating OR defrost in the microwave before crisping up in the oven or air fryer.

    FAQs

    Do I really need to make my own pastry?

    No! You can use 2 sheets of defrosted shortcrust pastry instead (you'll still need to blind bake it though). However, homemade pastry is far superior to pastry sheets, so definitely make your own if you have time.

    Why do I need to blind-bake the pastry?

    This stops it from going soggy when the filling is added and baked. Blind-baking ensures your pastry will be perfectly crispy and flaky.

    Can I make this ahead of time?

    Sure! It can be baked, cooled then stored in the fridge for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

    Vanilla Cupcakes on a cake stand.

    The recipe for our Thermomix Vanilla Cupcakes was one of the very first we shared on ThermoBliss (way back in 2015!). Since then, the recipe has become 'famous' in the Thermomix world... everyone loves how quick and easy they are, plus how deliciously moist they stay!

    Just like our chocolate cupcakes and strawberry cupcakes, these are sure to become on high rotation in your little ones lunch box or at your next birthday party or celebration.

    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    There's a lot to love about our basic vanilla cupcakes...

    • quick and easy - all you need is 5 minutes prep time to whip up a batch of our simple cupcakes.
    • basic ingredients - made from pantry and fridge staples... meaning there's no need to make a trip to the supermarket.
    • versatile - top the cupcakes with your favourite buttercream frosting, cream cheese icing, a sprinkle of icing sugar or leave them plain.
    • freezer-friendly - make a big batch and freeze in an airtight container or sealable bags for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost to room temperature before consuming.

    • perfect party food - there's rarely a birthday party that goes by where a batch of these cupcakes doesn't make an appearance! They're always a winner.

    What You Need

    Just 6 basic and budget-friendly 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 vanilla cupcakes.
    • Dry Ingredients - caster sugar (superfine sugar), self-raising flour and salt. I always add a pinch of salt to my sweet recipes as it balances the sweetness perfectly (you certainly can't taste the salt though!).
    • Wet Ingredients - butter (if using salted butter, omit the extra pinch of salt), eggs and vanilla extract.

    I've made this recipe sooooo many times that I know it completely by heart now! I call it the 200g recipe as you need 200g each of caster sugar, butter and self-raising flour. It's so easy to remember!

    Step By Step Instructions

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

    Step 1 - Cream The Butter & Sugar

    Ensure your butter is at room temperature before using as this will allow it to cream smoothly with the sugar.

    Step 2 - Add The Remaining Ingredients

    Add the self-raising flour, eggs, vanilla and salt and mix together. Scrape down the sides of the bowl partway through for a well combined batter.

    Step 3 - Spoon Into A Muffin Tin

    I recommend using paper liners/cupcake cases for this recipe. Fill the cupcake cases to ⅔ full.

    Step 4 - Bake

    Bake in the oven, turning the tray partway through baking. The cupcakes are ready when they spring back when touched lightly in the centre.

    Expert Tips

    Room temperature ingredients

    For the best result, ensure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before beginning the recipe.

    What can I use if I don't have self-raising flour?

    To make your own self-raising flour, simply add 2 teaspoons of baking powder to every 150g of plain flour.

    Storing

    Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days (they are best within the first 2-3 days).

    Freezing

    Freeze the cupcakes in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Allow to come to room temperature before consuming.

    How do I stop my paper cupcake cases going greasy?

    Add a small amount of uncooked rice to the base of each of the muffin tin holes. Place the paper cases on top of the rice. The rice will absorb the grease from the butter.

    Expert Tips

    • You can use either pitted or Medjool Dates for this recipe. If using Medjool Dates, make sure you remove the seed before trying to cut into pieces.
    • If making these scones in a Thermomix and using Medjool Dates, you will not need to chop them for as long.
    • The scone mixture will be quite sticky, this is normal. Just add a little extra flour to your bench to help bring the mixture together.
    • This recipe makes approximately 9 scones, you can make them smaller/larger if you wish, however the baking time will vary.

    • These scones are freezer friendly.

    Can Scones be made a day before?

    Yes, you can definitely make Scones 1 - 2 days before you need them. They are best stored in a cool dry place until ready to consume.

    What is the best way to freshen up scones?

    I like to reheat them either in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in the oven for 5-8 minutes on 160 degrees.

    Recipe Hints and Tips

    For a chunkier texture, you might also like to chop your vegetables by hand, rather than using the Thermomix.

    Don't be alarmed if the cabbage hasn't quite cooked through, it will continue to cook while in the Thermoserver.

    If you prefer more sauce with your chow mein, cook the noodles in boiling water before combining with the meat chow mein mixture.

    The main trick to getting your Thermomix chow mein to thicken up is to pop it into the ThermoServer for 10-15 minutes before serving it up.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why is my chow mein soggy?

    Ensuring you don't overcook your vegetables and noodles is key to keeping your chow mein from going soggy.

    • 500 grams beef mince
    • 300 grams water
    • 2 tbs cornflour
    • 2 teaspoon curry powder (more or less depending on your taste preferences)
    • 1 teaspoon veg stock concentrate
    • 80 grams oyster sauce
    • 2 tbs soy sauce
    • 350 grams cabbage shredded
    • 350 grams Singapore noodles or thin hokkien noodles

    Instructions

    • Place the garlic and brown onion into the Thermomix bowl and chop on Speed 6 for 5 seconds.
    • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the carrot and mix for 4 seconds, speed 5.
    • Add the minced ginger and the oil and Saute for 4 minutes, Varoma, Speed 2 Reverse.
    • Add the beef mince and cook for 4 minutes, Varoma, Speed 2 Reverse.
    • Mix the cornflour and water together until no lumps remain. Add the cornflour mixture, curry powder, vegetable stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce and the cabbage to the bowl.
    • Cook for 4 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 1 Reverse (you'll need to use the spatula to push the cabbage down).
    • Place the noodles into the ThermoServer and add the cooked meat mixture. Leave for 15 minutes.
    • Gently stir through the noodles (which will have now cooked) and divide between serving bowls. Serve with a little extra soy sauce, sesame seeds or chopped peanuts.

    Notes

    For a chunkier texture, you might also like to chop your vegetables by hand, rather than using the Thermomix.
    If you prefer more sauce with your chow mein, cook the noodles in boiling water before combining with the meat chow mein mixture.
    Don't be alarmed if the cabbage hasn't quite cooked through, it will continue to cook while in the Thermoserver.
    The main trick to getting your Thermomix chow mein to thicken up is to pop it into the ThermoServer for 10-15 minutes before serving it up.

    What You Need

    Thermomix Turkish Delight Rocky Road is packed full of delicious add-ins!

    Here's what you need:

    The ingredients for rocky road.

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

    • Dark Chocolate - I like to use Cadbury or Nestle dark chocolate melts as they melt easily.
    • Coconut Oil (optional) - this helps when mixing the ingredients together as well as helping to avoid the rocky road from cracking when cut into pieces.
    • Desiccated Coconut - optional - but it gives the rocky road a classic crunch!
    • Peanuts - use unsalted peanuts or substitute with slivered almonds, pistachios or macadamias etc. For a nut-free rocky road, simply omit the nuts entirely.
    • Marshmallows - use regular sized marshmallows.
    • Turkish Delight - use traditional Turkish delight or the Fry's chocolate coated rocky road chocolate bars.

    Step By Step Instructions

    1.2.3... It takes just three simple steps to make Thermomix Turkish Delight Rocky Road!

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

    Step 1 - Grate & Melt The Chocolate

    Place the chocolate into the Thermomix bowl.

    Grate finely on Speed 8.

    Add the coconut oil (optional) and melt for 3-4 minutes (see recipe below for details).

    Step 3 - Chill

    Pour into a prepared, greased and lined baking tin.

    Chill in the fridge for 2 hours or until set.

    Expert Tips

    • Choose a good quality brand of chocolate (such as Cadbury, Hersheys, Nestle or Lindt etc) as this is the main ingredient in rocky road
    • You can use traditional icing sugar powder coated Tukish Delight or Fry's chocolate covered Turkish Delight bars
    • Omit the nuts entirely if catering for nut allergies
    • The peanuts can be substituted for slivered almonds, pistachios or macadamias if preferred
    • Use regular sized marshmallows (not jumbo or mini) - I use Pascall's brand
    • Adding coconut oil to the chocolate when melting helps to avoid the rocky road from cracking when cut into slices
    • Remove the rocky road from the fridge 20 minutes before cutting to avoid it cracking

    FAQS

    What is the coconut oil used for?

    Adding coconut oil to the chocolate when melting helps the chocolate to melt more smoothly and mix with the rocky road ingredients easier. It also makes the chocolate less likely to crack when cutting the rocky road into pieces.
    You can omit the coconut oil if you prefer.

    Can I omit the peanuts?

    Absolutely! If you're catering for nut allergies, you can omit the peanuts entirely. If you just don't like peanuts, you can simply substitute them for macadamias, pistachios, slivered almonds or any other nuts you like.

    How long does rocky road last?

    You can store rocky road in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

    Expert Tips

    • Use full cream (not skim) milk. You can use almond milk or soy milk instead.
    • You can use any variety of apple you like.
    • I generally use rolled oats, however quick oats can also be used.
    • It's important to chill the Thermomix bircher muesli overnight so that the oats soak up the milk and juice and form a deliciously rich and creamy muesli.

    Of course!

    Can I double this recipe?

    Yes you can!

    The ingredients for chocolate mint fudge.
    • Chocolate - Dark chocolate is used for the bottom layer and white chocolate for the top mint layer. Choose a good quality brand such as Cadbury or Nestle. I like to use their 'melts' as they melt easier.
    • Raw sugar - choose raw granulated sugar.
    • Sweetened condensed milk - use full fat (not skim) sweetened condensed milk.
    • Butter - use unsalted butter for this recipe.
    • Liquid glucose - (also known as glucose syrup) is a clear, very thick, sweet and sticky liquid. When making fudge, liquid glucose will keep it soft, while giving it a smooth and chewy texture.
    • Peppermint essence - can be bought from the baking section of the supermarket (near the vanilla extract and food colouring).
    • Green food colouring - optional. This is used to tint the mint layer green.

    Who can resist a sweet, fluffy cupcake topped with luscious chocolate frosting (it's so good, you'll be eating it straight from the Thermomix!!).

    • 15 Minutes Prep Time - it takes just a few minutes to prepare the cupcake batter and a couple more minutes to whip up the frosting! The hardest part is waiting for the cupcakes to cook and cool.

    What You Need

    Our Thermomix Chocolate Cupcakes are made using a handful of basic ingredients (that you may already have at home!).

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

    For The Chocolate Cupcakes

    The ingredients for chocolate cupcakes.
    • Butter - you can use either salted or unsalted butter for this recipe.
    • Caster Sugar - also known as superfine sugar. If you don't have caster sugar, you can use regular white sugar.
    • Eggs - use large eggs (approx 60g each). Bring to room temperature before using.
    • Vanilla Extract - or vanilla essence.
    • Self Raising Flour - also known as self rising flour. You can use store-bought self raising flour or make your own.
    • Cocoa Powder - use regular unsweetened cocoa powder.
    • Milk - I recommend using full fat/full cream milk when baking as it gives a much better result than skim milk.

    For The Frosting

    The ingredients for chocolate frosting.
    • Chocolate - use milk or dark cooking chocolate for this recipe.
    • Butter - you can use salted or unsalted butter.
    • Icing Sugar - for a soft frosting, use icing sugar mixture. For a firmer frosting, use pure icing sugar.
    • Vanilla Extract - or vanilla essence.
    • Milk - only use a small amount of milk (just enough to make the frosting smooth and creamy!).

    Step By Step Instructions

    It takes just 15 minutes to prepare our Thermomix chocolate cupcakes!

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

    Step 1 - Melt The Butter

    Place the butter into the Thermomix and heat until melted.

    Expert Tips

    Follow our top tips for baking cupcakes using your Thermomix.

    • Chop the butter before placing into the Thermomix bowl. This will help to stop it from getting stuck to the blades.
    • I like to use icing sugar mixture in the frosting which keeps it soft. If you'd prefer a firmer frosting, use pure icing sugar instead.
    • Only add as much milk to the frosting that's required to make it smooth and creamy (you will only need a very small amount).
    • Don't overfill the cupcake cases (add batter until they're ⅔ full). This will allow the cupcakes to rise, without spilling over.
    • The cupcakes are ready when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
    • Ensure the cupcakes have completely cooled before frosting.
    • Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
    • Freeze leftover cupcakes in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost at room temperature.

    FAQS

    Can I make this chocolate cupcakes recipe in any model of the Thermomix?

    Yes! Our recipe is suitable for use in all models of the Thermomix.

    What can I use in place of self raising flour?

    If self raising flour isn't available where you live, you can make your own self raising flour by sifting 2 teaspoons of baking powder through every 1 cup of plain flour.

    Can I use a classic buttercream frosting?

    Absolutely! You can find our Thermomix buttercream frosting recipe here.

    My favourite drive thru coffee shop has recently opened a store 5 minutes from my house and while it's all kinds of awesome that I can easily drive by and grab a coffee, it also means I'm regularly tempted to buy a slice of my favourite snack - Coconut Bread.  After having a think about it, I realised it couldn't be that hard to make my own Coconut Bread, especially using my Thermomix!

    How to Make Baba Ghanoush in a Thermomix

    Recipe Hints and Tips.

    To get a really good baba ghanoush you need to grill your eggplant. It's the only way to get that beautiful, traditional smokey flavour. As much as I love the Thermomix - it's just not going to do the job here! So use a naked flame on your gas stovetop or BBQ to grill the outside of a whole eggplant.

    For a smoother texture, mix the Baba Ghanoush for an extra 10 seconds or until the desired texture is achieved.

    Serve with a little drizzle of olive oil, some fresh olives and a slice or two (or 10!) of delicious Thermomix Turkish Pide. Yum!

    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Freeze for up to two months, please note the consistency may change.

    Top Tips for Making Butter in a Thermomix

    July 28, 2015

    A Thermomix with a text overlay of tips for making butter

    Follow our top tips for making butter in a Thermomix machine... and have perfectly creamy, spreadable butter every time!

    It's SO easy!

    A Thermomix with the text overlay 'Top Tips for Making Butter in a Thermomix'

    For many of us, one of the biggest values of owning a Thermomix is the ability to create basic ingredients from scratch.

    You won't believe how easy it is to make your own homemade butter in the Thermomix... using just cream and water!

    Tips For Making Homemade Butter Using A Thermomix Machine

    Follow our simple steps for the creamiest homemade butter!

    Use Cream That's Nearing It's Use By Date

    Buying discounted cream which is close to it's use by date is a great way to save money.

    Cream that is near it's use by date will whip and seperate quickly.

    Choose The Right Cream

    To make butter, you will need to use full fat pure or thickened cream (not light cream).

    Make The Butter In Batches

    It's important to only use 600ml of cream at a time when making butter in your Thermomix.

    Mix The Cream Until The Sound Of The Blades Changes

    With the Butterfly attachment inserted into the Thermomix machine, whip the cream until you hear the sound of the blades change - this tells you when the cream has separated.

    The time it takes for the buttermilk to separate from the butter will vary depending on the temperature of your cream and it's freshness.

    Keep Your Buttermilk

    Don't throw out the buttermilk!

    Strain the mixture through a sieve and reserve the buttermilk.

    The buttermilk is perfect to use when making scones, cakes, pancakes or even as a coating for fried chicken!  

    Simply transfer the buttermilk into an airtight container and store it in the fridge until needed (use within a couple of days).

    Use Chilled Water

    It's important to use water that has been chilled in the fridge (or had ice cubes added to it before use).

    If you're making butter on a warm day, place your Thermomix bowl into the fridge or freezer for 15 minutes before using.

    Wash Your Butter Thoroughly

    Wash your butter 4 - 5 times or until the water runs clear. This ensures that you have removed all of the buttermilk (any remaining buttermilk can turn the butter bad).

    Salted Or Unsalted Butter

    To make salted butter, add ½ teaspoon of salt after you've finished washing the butter.

    How To Make Spreadable Butter

    To make spreadable butter, add one teaspoon of oil at a time and whip until it reaches your desired consistency.

    You can use vegetable oil, rice bran oil, avocado oil, sunflower oil or a very mild flavoured olive oil.

    Storing The Butter

    Unsalted butter should be used within a few days, while salted butter can be stored in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.

    Freezing The Butter

    Any surplus butter can portioned, wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in your freezer until needed.
