Thermomix ice cream is one of the most surprising things your machine can do. This category covers caramels, fruit jellies, ice creams and sorbets, so you can make sweets and frozen desserts at home. The recipes are simple, and the Thermomix does the heavy work.
Making Thermomix ice cream at home
For a fruity sorbet, freeze the fruit in pieces. Then crush it in the bowl at speed 7 with a little sugar, pushing down with the spatula. In a minute you get a smooth, cold dessert. For a creamy ice cream, cook a custard at 80 degrees, cool it, and churn it in the freezer.
The result has no artificial taste. You choose the fruit, the sugar level and the flavor. Vanilla, strawberry, mango and lemon are favorite choices, and chocolate always finds its fans.
Candy and sweets from your kitchen
Caramel is a good example. The bowl cooks sugar and cream at a steady temperature, so you avoid the burnt taste. Fruit jellies need pectin and a precise cooking time. Once you follow the settings, they set well and cut into neat cubes.
Homemade sweets also make nice gifts. Wrap them in paper, close a jar, and add a label. Moreover, children enjoy helping with the cutting and the rolling.
Ice cream also helps you use ripe fruit that would otherwise go soft in the bowl. Freeze it in slices, and you have a quick dessert for the next warm evening, ready in a minute.
Tips for success
Always use a clean, dry bowl before making sorbet. Also, serve ice cream a few minutes after taking it from the freezer, because the texture becomes softer. Store caramels in a tin away from humidity.
To build a full dessert menu, pair a scoop with cookies and biscuits or a slice of brioche, crêpes and waffles. The Thermomix pastries page lists every other category.

Tiha’s tip for frozen desserts
Freeze the fruit in pieces well in advance. In fact, it gives a creamy texture. For caramels, beware of splashes, and keep the measuring cup in place. Finally, let them cool completely before cutting.
