Desserts / No-Churn Pomegranate Ice Cream
« on: November 14, 2009, 02:47:40 pm »
This is my TMX version of Nigella Lawson's No-Churn Pomegranate Ice Cream from Nigella Express. The original quantities were altered because I didn't have the full amount of cream required.

Name of Recipe: No-Churn Pomegranate Ice Cream
Number of People: Serves 4 (1 scoop each)
Ingredients:
2 Pomegranates
1 Lime
105 grams Icing Sugar
300 grams Double Cream

Preparation:

Squeeze pomegranates and limes into a dish.

Sieve squeezed juice into the TMX bowl to remove any 'bits.'

Add icing sugar to juice mixture.

 *:, butterfly whisk, 10 secs, speed 3.5

Add cream

 *:, butterfly whisk, 1min 10 secs, speed 4

Scrape down halfway through. Mixture should resemble 'soft peaks.'
Put into container and freeze for at least 4 hours.

Dear All

After 'sorting' Xmas presents and ensuring the children and family wouldn't miss out - I ordered my Thermomix on Thursday morning and it arrived at work Friday afternoon. On arrival home it was unwrapped, washed and set to work by my DH et al! Whilst I jointed chickens and chopped chicken breast for the 'Chicken in yoghurt curry' DH proceeded to mill cumin and coriander seeds, de-skin garlic and proceeded to make our entire meal. Not only do I have a new TM but I have a cook that comes with it too - how lovely?  :-*

How bizarre that the only disagreement I forsee DH and I having is who gets to cook because I want a go too!  ???

It was lovely to see DH, DD and DS all working together making the meal. DS and DD had not seen the demonstration, and didn't really understand why DH and I were excited about the TM, however they were very quickly impressed and a string of requests for dishes soon followed.

I am allowed to cook dinner this evening, we will be having risotto and fruit sorbet - and I get to play - yeah ;D

I have also purchased the Australian EDC so I am able to quickly reference some of the recipes you discuss/review as I have been reading this site avidly on a daily basis and realise what a vital resource and lovely forum this site is - so thanks to you all - you may not realise it but your words of wisdom are very encouraging/endearing and supportive to all; whether or not people post a reply.

I am so happy I can experience the joys of the TM first hand  :) and hopefully one day (soon) I may be able to contribute to the forum?

Every good wish

Sharon :-)

Introduce Yourself / Almost a Newbie from England

Dear All

I have been to a Thermomix demonstration today and was 'blown away' - "where have you been all my life?"

Alas I did not order one - I came away from the demonstration determined not to make a rash decision and to work out 'the cost of Christmas' before agreeing to the outlay for the purchase.

However, I have thought about nothing else since and have been searching for something 'exactly like this forum' - hurray! to help support my wanting for this machine and to help me justify the purchase as I do not know anyone personally (apart from the demonstrator) who owns one.

Just by reading some of the posts I can see how well loved and utilised the TM is, and I am extremely encouraged by this.

I would REALLY like one before Christmas, but in order to do that I have to ensure that I have Xmas sorted for my two teenage children and lovely man first + additional family and friends.

Fingers crossed, here's hoping it won't be too long before I can join in and contribute.

Every good wish
