Thermomix Model

    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    I thought if I can get this past the fussiest eater in the house, I'll be very happy.
    I'm pleased to report, master 12 loved it!
    I used Cadbury dark melts which worked perfectly for me. It's a keeper, don't hesitate to make.
    Thanks for an awesome recipe with hidden veg.

    Delicious! No one could guess the secret ingredient.  The consistency is a bit like a fudge cake.  I used a 200 g block of chocolate I had in the pantry and the cake came out fine.
