This cherry pudding uses two recipes. One for the Cherry section and another for the plain vanilla. I've given you loads more ideas to use as toppings if you don't like cherries.

Equipment

  • 1 Thermomix

Ingredients
  

  • 120 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 120 g unsalted butter cold, cut into small cubes straight out of the fridge, plus extra for greasing
  • 120 g granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 30 g milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 qty of this cherry pie filling (follow the link), or see other tips below Cherry Pie Filling recipe

Instructions
 

  • Start by making your Cherry pie filling or use one of the ideas I've listed below.
  • Start by greasing your dariole moulds and filling them with your choice of topping to around 1/3 full, then set them aside in your Varoma dish.
  • Weigh the flour and baking powder into the TM bowl, mix with the MC in place 3 seconds/speed 6 remove,then set aside (as the dry mix).
  • Place a small jug, or bowl on top of the TM bowl, into that weight the eggs milk and vanilla. Use a fork to break up a bit then set aside (as the liquid mix).
  • Weigh the cold small cubes of butter into the TM bowl and set for 30 seconds/speed 5
  • Remove the lid, scrape down and lift any mix stuck to the bottom of the TM bowl then weigh in the sugar. Mix again for 10 seconds/speed 5
  • Scrape down, attach the butterfly and set to speed 3
  • With the liquid mix and the dry mix at the ready start by pouring 1/2 the liquid mix in through the hole in the lid while the blades are running then tip 1/2 the dry mix in, repeat with the remainder of the liquid then the last of the dry.
  • Remove the lid scrape down and lift then mix again to make sure everything is incorporated 3 seconds/speed 3.5
  • Fill the dariole moulds (there should be enough mix to fill 8)
  • Put 1 litre of water into the TM bowl (I don't bother to clean beforehand) Place covered Varoma into position and steam 40 min/Varoma/speed 1. Serve hot with cream or ice cream or custard (or both) LOL

Notes

You can go crazy with this, here's a list of what I've done in the base of a steamed pudding in the past.
  • Slices of pear and Tbsp. of salted caramel
  • Banana slices and a tsp of brown sugar
  • Canned peaches (or any canned fruit)
  • Dates chopped and a tbsp of salted caramel
  • Apple cubes with salted caramel and a pinch of cinnamon (what about sultanas?.)
  • Apple and passionfruit
  • Strawberry with a squeeze of lemon or lime
Ok, I could go on but you get the idea...
