Profiteroles would have to one of those dishes that Thermomix makes in a breeze. If you haven’t tried them yet, you must!
With the help of my girls, we made this croquembouche last weekend, for my sister’s baby shower. We’ve never attempted a croquembouche before and it was a bit of fun (and a little bit of stress, if the truth be told). Transporting it from one side of Melbourne to the other was also a challenge.
The Thermmoix really comes into it’s own for any recipe that calls for standing over a stove and stirring. Profiteroles are a perfect example, not to mention the creme patisserie we filled them with.
I took my guidance from this great post that I found on Not Quite Nigella. The recipe I used for both the profiteroles and the creme pattiserie (custard) was from the Thermomix Everyday Cookbook.
Our croquembouche was no masterpiece, I’ll give it that. Though it certainly prettties up a table and a croquembouche has been requested by both my girls for their birthday cake.
My friends have been asking me if the Thermomix is just as great for home cooks as it is for pro chefs, I would always tell them it depends on how often you cook. It’s a little pricy but if you make use of it properly and most of the time then the price shouldn’t be a problem.
