I\u2019m constantly amazed at how my Thermomix makes the most difficult cooking creations so easy.\u00a0 A few weeks ago I decided to adapt a recipe for a steamed sweet potato\u00a0 puddings.\u00a0 They were delicious and so much\u00a0easier with the Thermomix.<\/p>\n

One of the\u00a0other things that little miracle machine has done is (re)inspire me in the kitchen.\u00a0 I have always loved trying new things, creating something that I can call my own.\u00a0 That was until life got so busy that I didn\u2019t have time to consider what we might eat for dinner let alone be creative.\u00a0 Dinner just became \u201cwhatever is the fastest, healthiest meal with the least amount of dishes possible.\u00a0 Usually it was steak and steamed vegetables, steak and salad or stir fry.\u00a0 Believe me, there is only so much of all of those dishes that one person can eat.\u00a0 Now it is \u201cwould you like curry or risotto for dinner?\u201d\u00a0 We will often have Thai chicken red curry, risotto or anything we feel like really.\u00a0 Last week I even made a Chunky beef chilli which I thought sounded a great way to use the piece of rump steak that I wanted to, rather than pan frying it and steaming some vegetables :).<\/p>\n

Another thing I love about my Thermomix is the business that it has created for me.\u00a0 I am so lucky to be able to do something that I love, to meet some amazing people and to actually have people thank me for changing their lives and making things so much easier.\u00a0 What a great job I have and what a lucky girl I am!<\/p>\n

I hope you get to do something that you love too.<\/p>\n

\n1100g water, for cooking
\n\u00bd tsp ground rock salt
\n400g peeled and 2cm diced (orange) sweet potato
\n150g coconut milk
\n\u00bd tsp vanilla extract

\n25g desiccated coconut
\n2 eggs
\n900g water, for steaming
\nto serve<\/em>
\ncoconut cream
\nFresh fruit of your choice
\nToasted shredded coconut
\n6 x 125ml ramekins<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/span>
\nPlace water and salt into TM bowl, add basket and place sweet potato into the basket.\u00a0 Cook for 16 minutes<\/strong> at 100\u00b0C<\/strong> on speed 4<\/strong>.\u00a0 Once potato is fork tender, remove the basket using the spatula and shake off excess\u00a0water.\u00a0 Discard water from bowl.\u00a0 Place potato into the TM bowl and heat for 1 minute<\/strong> at 90\u00b0C<\/strong> on speed 1<\/strong> to remove excess water.\u00a0 Puree for 30 seconds<\/strong> on speed 4<\/strong>.\u00a0 Remove from bowl and set aside to cool.<\/p>\n

Add coconut milk, vanilla and sugar to TM bowl.\u00a0 Heat for 2 minutes<\/strong> at 90 \u00b0C<\/strong> on speed 1<\/strong>.\u00a0 Inset butterfly.\u00a0 Add desiccated coconut and cooled potato.\u00a0 Mix on speed 2<\/strong> and with blade running add eggs one at a time thru the hole in the lid.\u00a0 Beat for 20 seconds<\/strong> on speed 3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Divide mixture between ramekins, filling them 1cm from the top.\u00a0 Pour water into TM bowl and place ramekins into Varoma.\u00a0 Set Varoma in place.\u00a0 Steam for 20 – 25 minutes<\/strong> at Varoma temperature<\/strong> on speed 1<\/strong>.\u00a0 Puddings should be just set.<\/p>\n

Serve with garnish of your choice.<\/p>\n

My tips\/alterations:<\/span> *This is best made in ramekins rather than patty cake moulds then attempting to turn them out.\u00a0 *Don’t overcook these as they will dry out and become slightly chewy in texture.\u00a0 You could add more spices to this such as cinnamon, nutmeg and even a little of all spice.\u00a0 *If you like your coconut cream (to serve) really thick then pop it in the fridge for ar least an hour before serving.<\/p>\n

ease: 7.5\/10.<\/strong>\u00a0 Not difficult, just a few steps
\nprep time: 15 mins.<\/strong>
\ncooking time: 45 mins <\/strong>
\ntotal:\u00a060 mins<\/strong><\/p>\n

taste: 8.5\/10.<\/strong>\u00a0 These have a slightly unusual and very delicious flavour.\u00a0 The coconut and palm sugar come through the potato and the texture is quite light.<\/p>\n

would I make it again:\u00a0Yes,\u00a0<\/strong>especially if I wanted to do something a little different for my friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
