Ok. I have 2 egg whites left over from making ice cream. And 4 bananas going way past ripe. Give me some ideas on what I can make.

Phoenix - the ice magic recipe is on the thermomix forum:

Ice Magic TM style
« on: April 25, 2011, 07:45:12 AM »
Name of Recipe: Ice Magic TM style
Number of People: Depends how much you like on your icecream

Ingredients:
100g dark choc (I used dark cooking choc as it was all I had but I would choose 70% in the future)
50g milk choc ( I used green and blacks milk choc)
5 tspn/20g cold pressed organic virgin coconut oil
1/4 tsp peppermint essence or to taste

Preparation:

Break up chocolate place in* and mill on spd 8 for 10-15 sec
Add coconut oil and set TM to 2min 37deg spd1 after 1 min scrape down, add peppermint essence and continue for the remaining min at spd2. This was all I needed to melt and combine but melt for longer if needed.

Pour into a squeezy bottle (I used a BPA free Decor brand bottle i bought at BigW) and serve drizzled over EDC vanilla icecream.
STORE IN THE PANTRY - not the fridge!!

Recipe based on Thomas Keller's topping recipe


Tips/Hints:
The mixture does (like store bought Ice Magic from what I can remember of it) go firm in the colder weather so just sit the squeeze bottle in some warm water to make it sqeezeable again*

I poured mine into a glass jar. I hate using plastic for hot things. Also, it will be easier to get the dregs out at the end I did cook mine for about 3min and didn't use the peppermint essence. It was lovely.

Today I made salted caramel maple ice cream, also from therm forum/ Tenina, and a batch of coconut ice cream. Now contemplating GAPS friendly banana caramel muffins.

T the ice cream recipe I use you have no left overs!! Do u want that recipe?
As for the whites freeze the bananas and make fruity dream tomorrow night!!

[LionsandBears]

That would be great Olive. The maple ice cream used the whole egg, but I based the coconut ice cream on the EDC which just uses egg yolks.

I'll make banana bread & muffins tomorrow.

[Olive]

Cool will post tomorrow when on computer, otherwise google Annabel lanbein, I use her ice cream base for all myicecream and go from there. The 'custard' part I also do in the tmx with butterfly on 50

We had the sausage rolls from quirky cooking tonight (made saturday and froze) Yum!!

DH made Normandy chicken and mash last night. I haven't used it yet but I'll probably do pizza dough this afternoon. Might make some sort of cake today for afternoon tea for the kids. Made DH an iced coffee last night (my recipe from what I used to do in the vitamix). Went down well for the men in the house. Will get some fruit to freeze over the weekend for 20 second sorbets and slushees next week. Hoping to do profiteroles and yoghurt on the weekend. Will set in my thermos as I don't have the thermoservers yet. Totally in love!

Olive was the puff easy. That's on my must try list too!

[LionsandBears]

Hear that squealing? That's me taste testing the caramel maple ice cream. Eeeeeeee! All mine! Not sharing

[Rouge]

Woohoo! Yummy!

I just made pizza dough and brownies... My brownie recipe I converted and my kitchen is clean. No measuring cups is bliss.

[Olive]

....and you thought the thermochef was good

Pastry..... From memory (lol) it was!!

[Rouge]

Er... no.

[LionsandBears]

My ice cream doesn't freeze properly . We only have a deep freeze which is in the garage, so that might be it. Or there's something wrong with the recipe or my cooking. Still tastes good though.

[Strawberry55]

I usually use the Cream Anglaise (sp?) recipe for ice cream, it makes a creamier ice cream. Then I just add fruit of some sort whether it be strawberries or stewed rhubarb. I then put it in ice cube trays in the freezer for a few hours. It usually sets really well, then I pop it back in the Thermomix for about a minute to make ice cream!

[Rouge]

Boo @ ice cream. Too much salt? I would try the ice cube tray as there's less volume to freeze. So it won't take as much energy if it's a problem with the freezer.

Today I've made latte's and hot chocolates. Boiling eggs for sandwiches for lunch and I'll be making pasta dough for PeeDubs Cajun Chicken Pasta and making Custard, Choux Pastry, and Mars Bar sauce for dessert. The awesome thing is even though I'm making all this food I'm not going to town on it. Yay me. DH wants to make yoghurt tonight too. It's getting a work out. I think it always will because there are so many cheaty things we'll use it for daily even if we aren't cooking mammoth meals in it.

[Olive]

I'm making cherry ripe ice cream today!!

[Rouge]

YUM! I wish DH liked cherries

Custard is done. Gotta get more eggs before I can do Choux and Pasta.

[Strawberry55]

Ooo can you post the recipe for Mars Bar sauce?

[Rouge]

All I did was break up 3 mars bars, and added about 100mls or so of cream and put it on speed um 3 about 50 degrees for about 5-6 minutes. If the nougat is still slightly lumpy just turn it up to 5 at the end to mix it thorougly.

I really need to remember writing down what I do, I have converted recipes but not actually written the method down :/

Today I've made ricotta - amazing - cheap and easy! Great way to use up excess milk/cream. And then I made pasta dough and rolled it up between go between and stuck it in the fridge so DH can make cannelloni when he comes home. I'll make up the spinach and ricotta mix for him and he should be right to do the rest. We're using up leftover passatta that he made on friday for pizzas. I've made a whole meal out of what's in the fridge. LOVE days like this.

[Arimeh]

Ricotta?! How do you make ricotta?!?

[~Phoenix~]

Haven't done anything too exciting past few days. Made up a batch of Harissa Paste with the chillis from garden. We have four basil plants growing out of control so going to go and pick it all and make up & freeze pesto, so an easy dinner for those lazy nights.

Got a batch of GF bread just about ready to go into the oven. Need some motivation too cook up some more things but a have house that looks like a cyclone has gone through (thanks DD) so better sort that out.

Ricotta - yeh how do you make ricotta I have cream & milk
