1 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
70 grams cocoa
140gms SR flour

Bake in slice tray, for 30 or so minutes. A little less for a bit fudgey, a little more the the traditional cakey consistency.

I make these every Saturday night as our weekend treat! They get scooped out while hot and eaten with ice cream.
I will usually put 3/4 into the fridge to set overnight for a lovely fudgy brownie.

Twitterpated -  Used GF flour to accommodate a visitor and after removing from the oven it sunk in the middle. I squashed it a little around the edges to even it up and smoothed a little homemade nutella over it. OMG how yum is this stuff!! So fudgy in the middle and a really creamy chocolate taste. I piece is just not enough.

cattro - thanks for this recipe my kids love them (and me). I bake them nearly every week for school lunches.  A winner in my household.

Jelby - I have made these a few times now, very yummy.
I also add in some choc chip bits on reverse speed at the end. I like the texture they give.
I must also say they are much nicer with the woolies brand cocoa(I read somewhere you suggested this one Leej) . The first few times I made it with the cadbury brand and they were no where near as good as the batch I just made with the woolies cocoa.

LeeJ - The Woolies Home Brand cocoa is dutch cocoa, the lovely stuff. It gives it a taste of real chocolate IMO.

Rara1 - OMG!!! This was absolutely delicious. Made it tonight for our weekly family dinner.  Served it warm with vanilla ice-cream.
Thank you LeeJ for a great recipe. 

Mrs KK - This is the best recipe. I don't have a sweet tooth but love this slice. I have made several times and never failed. I have also added milk & white choc chips.

mavvie - These are yummy!! I sprinkled walnuts on the base before i poured the mix yuuum!! Definitely make them again!!

VieveMS - I made these for dessert tonight.  They were super quick to make in the thermie and didn't take long in the oven.  Very delicious!

Lilli - This has become one of my standard recipes, make it all the time & it always get eaten very quickly. Everyone loves it. Very simple & quick, no fail recipe. Love it!

past94x - This has become one of my standard recipes, make it all the time & it always get eaten very quickly. Everyone loves it. Very simple & quick, no fail recipe. Love it!

Amanda - While I must be honest and say that I seldom come across a brownie recipe I don't like, these are very good.
Hope there's some left for when the rest of the kids get home.

Alexis - How easy and quick and tasty!

BZB - Not bad, considering how easy it was to whip a batch up.

jactela - Have just made this. If the left over mix is anything to go by, these will be wickedly terrible for you.

He is obsessed with the Thermomix, he sits up with me while I cook, he can put the lid on properly, pop the measuring cup in and out of place, and turn it on, at 20 months old! (All under strict supervision!!)

Just thought I'd share :)

Chit Chat / $2.95 for a 6 pack of rolls?
« on: December 29, 2010, 03:17:52 am »
So I had to give in yesterday, and go to the supermarket and buy some rolls for dinner, had been out all day and didn't have time to make my own bread.

Shock! $2.95 for 6, shocking, horrible rolls! I felt rather jibbed  :D I'm so used to making my own bread almost everyday, that I'd forgotten (in my whole 2 months o thermomixing?) lol, how much they charged for bread!

I noticed the cheese and bacon rolls were $4.95, on special! Normally $6.50  :o

Is there anything you refuse to buy now that you have a thermomix?

My other one is sorbet, outright refuse to pay $6+ when I can make it for around $1.

Chit Chat / Posting recipes from TM cookbooks?
« on: December 23, 2010, 10:49:42 am »
Is this a taboo?

I've read through the terms of the site, etc, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I notice that it is not 'the done thing' to pop recipes up from the different Thermomix recipe books.

Can someone fill me in on the PC rules?

Recipe Requests / A Passionfruit Sorbet, and a Lemon Sorbet recipe
« on: November 29, 2010, 11:01:06 am »
Can someone share with me how they do their passionfruit, and they're lemon sorbet?

Thanks so much!  :)

I don't seem to be accomplishing sorbets well!  :D

I'm adding the ice as per the recipe, but it's not 'keeping up', even with the spatula, I'm ending up with quite a bit of ice uncrushed, and I'm blending for a good 3 minutes.

I'm also finding, it's not grinding the seeds in berries as well as it did at the demo.  I found at the demo, they were almost gone, but I have quite a few now, not grinding long enough?

Thought some of the tried and tested users would have a better idea! :)

Recipe Requests / help with lemon sorbet please
« on: November 23, 2010, 09:36:53 am »
So I tried it with the whole lemons, even though I thought it would be bitter, and it was, it was terrible!

So I cut all the pith off, so I only had the lemon flesh left, did that, and it's still bitter!

Am I doing something wrong, or is it just the lemons I'm using maybe?

Introduce Yourself / Newbie from country Vic
« on: November 07, 2010, 10:11:23 am »
Hey all!

I'm from South West Vic, Australia. I'm 25, married and have a 1 year old son. He has allergies to dairy and soy, and we are also failsafe! So I spend alot of time in the kitchen.

I've been stalking for a while, and have a demo booked in this week. I'm hoping the thermo can keep up with the 'baker' in me... we'll see  :D
