Recipe's preparation

1. Break up 800g cake and pop into mixing bowl. Blitz on speed 6 for 2 seconds.

2. Add 150g of rum to the bowl. Mix on

speed 2, for 5 seconds.

3. Empty cake into a seperate bowl.

4. Break room temp chocolate into 1-2cm pieces. Place into the bowl & blitz for 5 seconds on speed 7. Chocolate should resemble bread crumbs texture. Mixing it for too long will cause it to seize.

5. Melt chocolate on speed 1, 45 degrees for 8 minutes.

6. Once melted, add chocolate to the bowl with the cake & then add 3/4 cup of coconut (or measure with your heart!) to the bowl.

7. Mix altogether by hand

8. Refrigerate until set - they are best kept cool

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.

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.

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!
