Mocha Custard | Recipes for your Thermomix

I had been thinking and thinking about trying a Mocha Custard in my Thermomix for some time, seeing as though custard is one of the recipes we make at least 3 times a week in our house (and truth be told, one of the main reasons my husband was sold on the Thermomix!)...so I finally gave it a go.

Oh.....my......GOSH!!!


So after trying vanilla custard, lemon custard, orange custard, chocolate custard, jaffa custard, caramel custard and my 2 year old's idea for...wait for it....FAIRY custard (pink food colouring in the vanilla custard with 100s and 1000s on top)...I now have a new favourite - MOCHA.

50g flour
2 heaped spoons of cocoa
2 eggs
480g milk
1 shot of espresso coffee 


Cook for 7 mins, 90c speed 4

Try it...you will love it!

How many times a day do you use a Thermomix?

This was one of my lingering questions before I purchased my Thermomix...was I REEAALLLYY going to use it everyday or was it going to be a really expensive kitchen ornament? I am still surprised at how much I use my Thermomix and I know I haven't even scratched the surface of its usefulness yet.

Yesterday for example, I used it FIVE times to: 

• Make pizza dough in 3 minutes (to use for Cheesymite Scrolls) 
• Grate cheese for the scrolls (10 seconds)
• Made breadcrumbs with all my leftover crusts I keep in the freezer (20 seconds)
• Made meatloaf from the awesome Travelling with Thermomix cookbook 
• And finally made custard for dessert...my hubby's favourite! (secretly I think this is what sold him on us buying a Thermy!)

Meanwhile, my poor hotplate has been covered up with a large chopping board and has honestly been used 3 times in the past 4 months...so money well spent on the Thermomix, we think! It certainly gets a workout.
