Cakes / Malt Slice
« on: October 22, 2012, 12:36:55 pm »
Malt Slice
This simply recipe was given to me by Mrs J more than 20 years ago and has been a family favourite ever since.

Ingredients
2 packets of Malt-O-Milk biscuits
180g butter
400g can sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp golden syrup
1 large block Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate (these have shrunk over the years. You can get away with 200g, but for extra special occasions I buy two blocks, use 250g and eat the leftovers!)
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Method
Crush biscuits for 5 secs on speed 5.  Set aside.
Melt butter, condensed milk and golden syrup 3 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 3.
Add crushed biscuits and mix on speed 5 until combined.
Press into standard slice tin (base lined with baking paper).  Set aside.
Melt chocolate (I still prefer the microwave for this) and stir in vegetable oil.
Pour over slice and refrigerate overnight or until firm.
Cut into neat squares - a hot knife and ruler work well.
They freeze well - Uni has tried it.

JD - GS and I made this today.  I couldn't get the proper biscuits so just bought another brand of malt biscuits and it is really nice. I don't know how many end pieces I ate whilst I was cutting it into squares but I didn't want anything for tea.  Thanks Kimmy, this is a winner and would be nice in Christmas hampers.

Cookie - I tried this at Judy's. It is delicious.

Trudy - I've made both the plain and mint version of this lovely slice. For the mint version I melted 250grms of Cadbury mint chip chocolate.  Tastes a bit like the mint slice biscuits.

kt2 - Thank you for posting this recipe Kimmyh. It's very tasty and sssooo easy!! Will be making this for DD's school fair.
I topped it with Malteasers! 

Uni - thanks Kimmy for a very easy recipe. I halved the recipe and used homemade butter and homemade condensed milk. DD said it taste like a kit kat choc bar. I've frozen 2 pieces for testing for just over 1 month - still yum.  Super easy and super yum.

Suzanne - Yum, yum this is absolutely delicious and very easy to make, thanks for a great recipe.

Denzelmum - Made this with Yo Yo (Arnott biscuit from SA) for school fete. Looking good!

Desserts / Baked Lemon Cheesecake
« on: August 22, 2012, 05:09:22 am »
It is lemon season and our tree is overflowing, so I thought it appropriate that my first recipe posting should be a lemon one. This is my TM conversion of a recipe that originated from Super Food Ideas magazine. It is fast becoming a family favourite.

Baked Lemon Cheesecake

Number of People:12 (but 8-10 is more realistic!)

Ingredients:
250g Plain Sweet Biscuits (we prefer Granita)
140g Butter, cubed
500g Cream Cheese, cubed (room temp preferred but not essential)
3/4 cup Caster Sugar
3 teas Lemon Rind, grated (peel rind from lemons and grate 10 secs, speed 8. Keep 3 teas and freeze rest for another use)
3 Eggs
1/4 cup Lemon Juice

Preparation:
Preheat oven 160°C (140°FF).
Lightly grease 20cm springform tin (6cm deep) and line base with baking paper.
Place biscuits and cubed butter in TM bowl and crush 5-6 seconds, speed 6-7.  Then cook 2 minutes, 90°, speed 3.
Press mixture evenly over base and sides of tin.  Refrigerate 15 minutes.
Meanwhile wash and dry TM bowl.  
Place cream cheese, sugar and lemon rind in TM bowl and blend 20 seconds, speed 6.
Scrape down sides and base to loosen mixture if needed.
Add eggs and lemon juice beat 1-2 minutes, speed 4, until smooth.  Scrape down bowl if needed after 1 minute.
Pour into prepared tin, place on baking tray (to catch any butter drips from base) and bake 50-60 minutes or until filling is just set (mixture may wobble a bit in center, but will firm on standing).
Turn oven off and leave cheesecake in oven to cool with door ajar.
When cool refrigerate at least 4 hours (tastes better if left overnight).

Tips/Hints:
For a vanilla variation omit rind and lemon juice. Beat 300g sour cream with the cream cheese and add 3 teas vanilla essence with the eggs.

Greyhoundmum -  This cheesecake was very yummy, I topped it with some berries and strawberry coulis.

Denzelmum - Everybody loves the cheesecake.  I use Nice biscuit for the crust and serve it with raspberry coulis (EDC recipe).

Bedlam - Baked this yesterday. A really nice cheesecake especially good as our family favourite has gelatine and my vegetarian DD cant eat it. This seems  one that improves with being kept a day or two, so handy for large gatherings and making ahead.
Thanks for sharing Kimmyh.

AussieMum2Boys - Omg amazing... this is such a delicious cheese cake!! Yummmmmmm

tarasis - I keep meaning to post in here to say thanks Kimmy, we loved this cheesecake the two times we've made it so far. Absolutely delicious. First time had strawberries in it, the second didn't. Can't recommend it highly enough.

ES - Thanks for this recipe. It was a hit for Father's Day lunch.

Tasty - I have made a recipe like this several times in the past so was pleased to find the recipe for a Thermomix. I used this recipe and added sour cream like my original recipe had and then topped it with blueberries. Guests all enjoyed it with only 1 slice left. Personally though, I prefer the vanilla flavour.

Foodgroupie - It's in the oven as we speak, taking it to the in laws tomorrow for dinner, had a little taste, DIVINE! thanks for the recipe. Will def be making this again. So, so easy.


Kimmyh - Made a passionfruit version of this recipe for DH's birthday.
You will need 2/3 cup of passionfruit pulp. Strain by pushing through a sieve to get as much juice as possible (almost 1/2 cup). Reserve1 tablespoon of seeds.
Omit rind and lemon juice. Beat 300g sour cream with the cream cheese and add strained passionfruit juice and 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste with the eggs. Pour into tin and add 1 tabs of reserved passionfruit seeds to top and swirl through with a knife. Bake as per recipe. I served it with fresh berries and passionfruit coulis.

BZB - Thanks for the recipe, Kimmy. Good size for the airfryer. Baked at 140c. Got browning at the surface though. I should have checked it earlier than 30 mins, and covered with foil. Anyway the strawberry coulis managed to hide the spots. My 2 older boys went for 2nd helping straight after their first slice.

CC - Another success with your recipe Kimmy. We ate it for dessert Easter Sunday.

Introduce Yourself / Hello from newbie
« on: July 01, 2012, 12:21:46 am »
Hello, I am Kim a newbie and first time forum user, so please be patient while i learn what to do.
I have had my thermomix for 3 weeks now and can't believe i lived without it for so long. Am currently having fun emptying my kitchen of all those old contraptions i no longer need. Now what to do with the spare cupboard space! I love trying new recipes and tweaking my old ones to suit the thermomix. My boys also like helping use it too. They come running the minute they hear the beeps. I secretly wish it came with a mute button!
