      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!

Tip

I make this well in advance, wrap in cling wrap, put back into my pudding steamer and freeze until Christmas.  Then on Christmas day I take it out of the cling wrap, put back into the steamer and reheat by steaming for another hour.

    Tim Wilco: Sorry, I only saw your question when I went to make my pudding. (must work out how to turn on notifications!) I use a 2 litre pudding steamer, and it nearly fills it once cooked.

    Hi, This really taste good. What size pudding steamer does this use? I assumed 1litre Avanti, as that seems to be Thermo standard( I think because they fit in the Varoma for steaming). Thank you, Tim
