      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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    Submitted by Maida on 14. May 2017 - 08:47.

    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.

    Submitted by Caro14 on 26. September 2016 - 13:43.

    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.

    Super yum! My husband said it was the best creme caramel he'd ever eaten! I cooked in ramekins covered with tinfoil for the first 15 minutes & then removed & cooked for another 20mins.

  • I made these on the weekend

    Submitted by Cattywompuss on 29. February 2016 - 21:45.

    I made these on the weekend for a dinner party and it was easier to make than I expected. Great for a dinner party as you make them a day ahead. I dont think I cooked my sugar enough as it was a bit pale, but it was so creamy and didnt taste eggy at all.  I used orange peel as I didnt have a lemon, and loved the taste.  However, the tops of mine went a little brown when cooking in the oven, and the bown bits flaked off and floated in the syrup, spoiling the presentation a bit.  Should I cover them in foil to prevent them browning? I had 6 ramekins sitting in a rectangular pyrex casserole, half filled with boiling water and in the middle of the oven.
