    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!

    Also cooked with less sugar and taste was great. I split the mixture between a greased Pyrex pie dish and a lined cake tin. Worked fine in both. Even with splitting mix into two dishes definitely took the full hour to cook maybe even more to get colour and texture. Very tasty and simple. I'd cook it again.

    Very delicious. Reduced sugar to 180g. Still a little bit too sweet for my taste. Used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream by mistake but it turned out very nice. Thanks for sharing

    nice recipe, and easy. I used the zest of three limes, and the extra juice i needed i made up with lemon juice ( my limes were pretty much juice-less) thanks !

    So delicious!

    Also cut sugar down to 180g and baked in a deeper dish and needed to extend baking time by an extra 25 minutes. Will definitely make this again. Yummmmm'!!!!!!!

    Yum!

    I used lemons instead of limes and, like John, reduced sugar to 180g. I didn't have a ceramic pie dish, so I used a lined, spring form tin and it turned out perfectly.

    Thanks for sharing

    Despite not having any limes, I made this yesterday with lime juice in a bottle.  It turned out not too bad, but I think it needs the flavour kick of lime zest.  I wouldn't recommend making it without fresh limes!

    This recipe was a winner! A friend recently gave me a supply of ripe limes and this recipe jumped out at me. As per the comment from Adam and Kate, I made this recipe using GF flour and it was beautiful. I did cut down the sugar to 180 g and it was just the right sweetness for us. It was perfect served with a dollop of Greek Yoghurt.

    Highly recommended!

    Absolutely delicious!

    Needed a bit longer to cook as I had a deep dish, just waited until the top went golden. Also used gluten free flour instead of plain, worked a treat. Was a hit with everyone who tried it Big Smile

    We did this in our TM31, no issues with capacity.
