Thermomix custard recipes are among the best uses of the machine. In this category you find creams, flans, mousses, layered desserts and mille-feuilles, all with a silky texture. The bowl heats and stirs at the same time, so your custard never sticks or curdles.
The secret of Thermomix custard recipes
A good custard needs a steady, gentle heat. The Thermomix keeps the temperature at 80 to 90 degrees while the blades turn at low speed. Because of this, the eggs cook slowly and the cream thickens without lumps. You save time, and you also avoid the stress of watching a saucepan.
Pastry cream is the base of many desserts. Once you master it, you can fill tarts, éclairs and mille-feuilles. A vanilla custard also works as a sauce, poured warm over a cake.
From flans to layered desserts
Baked flans need a moderate oven and a water bath for a smooth result. Mousses, on the other hand, rely on whipped egg whites or cream. The butterfly whisk handles both well at speed 3.
Layered desserts, served in glasses, look elegant for guests. Alternate cream, crushed biscuits and fruit, then chill for two hours. Moreover, you can prepare them the day before a dinner.
Children like the simple chocolate cream, and adults often prefer a coffee or caramel flavor. Switch the flavor by changing one ingredient, while the method stays the same. This makes custards ideal for daily cooking.
Serving and storing creamy desserts
Cover your creams with cling film touching the surface, so no skin forms. Keep them in the fridge and eat them within three days. Never leave them at room temperature for long.
To finish a meal with contrast, serve a cream with cookies and biscuits. For a rich dessert, look at choux and éclairs. You can also return to the full Thermomix pastries section.
