    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!

    No Good, waste of ingredients.
    Followed recipes steps and the tips in comments.
    The Custard was solid rubber and flavourless.

    Awesome receipe, but I changed it slightly. This was my second attempt and I made some small changes. In the first attempt I focused on the recommendations from previous comments but found the custard still very rubbery and very sweet too. The changes are as follows:
    1. Decreased the sugar to 180 grams. Could even go to 160 grams.
    2. Decreased to cornflour to 60 grams.
    3. Increased the custard powder to 90 grams.
    4. Kept the second cook to 4.30 minutes. It was a perfect pouring consistency.

    Will make it again for sure😜

    I made this for the first time and followed your tips above. I also substituted the full cream milk for vanilla flavoured soy milk. The colour of the custard was more like a caramel colour but the slice was very tasty.

    Hi Kerry, I wouldn't cut the custard powder as this is what helps to give it flavour. Definitely cut the cornflour to no more than half (50g) as this what thickens it and too much will make it more rubbery.

    just used 80g of corn flour
    cook for 5 mins in the second cook

    -ONLY USE FULL CREAM MILK


    -REDUCE CORNFLOUR TO 80gm’s


    -COOK FOR 5min IN THE SECOND COOK


    -And steer clear of WHITE WING’s cornflour as it turns the custard rubbery!
