Dinner with friends
A decided late on Wednesday that friends would come for dinner on Friday night.
Friday night dinners make the weekend somehow seem longer....
So what did we do
Main
Beautiful Webbered roast pork, thermomix apple sauce, roast veggies (potatoes, sweet potato, pumpkin, capsicum, onion and garlic)
Dessert
Rich chocolate tart - made in the thermomix
Ingredients for Base
50 gr Macadamia nuts
200gr Digestive biscuits
80gr butter
Directions for base
Place nuts and biscuits in thermomix and whizz on 9 for about 10 seconds till crumbly
add butter in chunks, heat to 35 degrees and let it combine
When combined put in a paper lined and greased spring form (about 21-23 cm) and press with spoon.
Place in oven on 180 degrees for 5-10 minutes or until it is slightly browned, take out and allow to cool while you make the filling
Ingredients for filling
100 gr dark chocolate (at least 70%)
50gr dark chocolate 85%
50 gr milk chocolate
(the above is what I used, as I didn't have 200gr of the dark chocolate -but see what you have.)
Thickened cream
Milk
3 eggs slightly beaten
Directions for Filling
put cream and milk in thermomix, heat while stirring to 90 degrees or just before boiling.
once at that temperature, add the chocolate broken into pieces, and stir on forwards till chocolate is dissolved
allow to slightly cool in thermomix and then add the three slightly beaten eggs, be sure to leave the thermo moving at about 4 - 5 to ensure that the eggs don't split and that it is not too hot
once combined, pour into the cooled base and then place in the oven at 120 degrees for about 50-60 minutes or until slightly hard but still wobbly.
take out and let cool at room temperature.
serve with ice-cream
I still haven't made my own Ice-cream as I am still waiting to find an ice-cream machine.
Hi Domestic Goddess, can you please give the quantities of the milk and cream. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI only just saw your post - weird.. sorry for the delay. I can't actually remember, but I will make the recipe again this weekend and post the quantities.
