      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.

    This is a great recipe once you read it 20 times to understand what they mean but geeze it's written so poorly! It needs to be re written in easy to follow Bullet points. You have to keep going back up to the top and you lose your place because there are no paragraphs 🤦🏻‍♀️

    So pleased you put up this recipe, I forgot to order mine and can't have Easter without! I've already got almond meal, have you ever tried this or do you think it would be better grinding your own.

     

    Thanks

  • Very delicious. Had to taste

    Submitted by Tollisfamily on 3. April 2015 - 22:15.

    Very delicious. Had to taste test one straight out of the oven. Tasty without icing but can't wait to try with it iced too. I had to use the spatula to help mix the dough but other than that, there were no issues. Great Easter gift idea. Thanks for posting and sharing your recipe Ladybeetlez!  Cooking 7
