Tip

This recipe has been converted from the Sainsbury The cooks companion, a the recipe is very adaptable, I have tried to steam the pudding in the varoma but find the heat too harsh and can cause the custard to scramble.... so the softer bain marie method is more realiable.

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    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!

    This was awfully eggy and fishy tasting. Unfortunately, we found it inedible and had to throw the lot away.

    The sugar cooked in water was runny and colourless despite cooking for ages on the stove.

    I do not recommend this recipe.

    Brillant recipe. Thank you. I use half the lemon rind and make with half cream.

    I must have done something wrong. Mine turned out filled with holes (bubbles) and tasted very "eggy"

    I used a round cake tin, let the milk mixture cool to 50C before adding the eggs, and covered the tin in the bain marie with foil.

    My daughter is anaphylactic to citrus. What would you suggest in place of lemon rind?

    Good recipe. Next time I will use less water with the sugar when making the caramel as it took a long time and basically we were just evaporating the water. Is there a benefit in using that amount of water ? I steamed mine in the Miele combi steamer so I think they could be steamed in the Varoma if they fitted in. They need to be covered. I used foil but I think glad wrap should also work in a steamer. Thanks.

    My mother use to make creme caramel in a steamer so maybe the ramekins could be placed in the varoma. I might try this one.

    Hi this was a lovely recipe. I served it with fruit salad &was enjoyed by all. The only thing I would ask is that rather than a 1L dish that the diameter of the bowl also be specified.  The dish I used was too wide so the creme caramel was very thin. Maybe around an 18cm diameter dish at least 8cm deep.
