okay my friend has converted a banoffee pie recipe but ended up having to melt the chocolate in a saucepan!!!! and then added it to the rest of the ingredients that had been prepared in the TM
I figure you shouldnt have to do that, but cant think of a way to do the whole lot in the TM
any gurus out there got any suggestions
Chocolate Banoffee pies
250g chocolate digestive biscuits
180g Unsalted butter
1 tbs Dutch cocoa powder
½ cup brown sugar 100g)
395g condensed milk (can)
75g melted chocolate, melted
1 tbs golden syrup
300ml thickened cream
2 small bananas sliced
Finely crumb biscuits in food processor. Melt 80g buter and add to crumbs with cocoa. Process to combine. Press into six 10cm loose-bottomed tart pans. Chill for 20 mins until bases are firm.
Place sugar and remaining butter in a pan over low heat, stirring until butter has melted. Add condensed milk and stir over low heat for 5 mins or until mixture is a thick, golden caramel. Remove from heat, then add chocolate and golden syrup stirring to combine. Fill tart shells with caramel mixture, smoothing tops with a palette knift. Chill for at least 1 hour to set. Whip cream when ready to serve and top tarts with bananas and cream.
OK, I processed digestives, tipped mixture out. Melted butter in TM and then added biscuits and cocoa on speed 1 to combine. Made up tart shells. Then I melted butter and added sugar in TM and slowly drizzled in the condensed milk, cooked at 80 for 5 mins on speed 3 or 4, then spooned in golden syrup and melted chocolate. Let me know if you can think of another way of doing it?

you could possible put the varoma base on top and then sit the chocolate on top of the hole in teh lid and let the warmth melt it but TBH if you're going to dirty that bowl anyway i would microwave it ;)

I'd be inclined to start by chopping up chocolate and then placing aside.
Do biscuits/cocoa as you did and the rest but just add milled chocolate - it should melt pretty quickly in the mix.

I have the recipe in my book to make the Dulce de Leche, which I think is the caramelly lovely gooh in Bannoffee Pie.
1 litre milk
130g sugar
120g brown sugar
200g cream
1/2 teaspoon bicarb
Place all in THX and program 50 mins, Temp Varoma Speed 5. Place basket on lid to allow it to evaporate without spitting.
When finished, quickly pour into jar and leave it to cool. When it cools it will be nice and thick. Keep in the fridge.
Can be used on cakes or as filling, or on pancakes.
The photo in the book looks delicious. I would like to give the banoffee pie a go.
How about pastry base with soft bananas in bottom, dulce de leche on top, and piled high with whipped cream?
What do you reckon? Should the bananas be on the top, or how about putting them in the dulce de leche a minute before it finishes on speed 1? Does anyone have an idea? I can't really remember how Banoffee Pie is, I do remember how amazing it tasted though!!! ;D Anyone fancy experimenting this one? ???
