Thermostyle Decals

What do you get someone who has everything in the kitchen...

Something for the Thermomix of course! And what could be better than a gorgeous decal... perfect for those of us who love everything to match

What is a Thermostyle Decal?

They are quality removable vinyl adhesives that stick to your Thermomix, allowing you to customise your Thermomix to suit your individual style.

They are designed and made right here in Australia by Felicia McQueen. Her motto "Australian made just makes sense. It's the ethical way to shop!" I totally agree and that is why I get all my books printed in Australia too. Always good to support our local businesses.

Felicia is a dedicated mum who I had the pleasure of meeting through the Failsafe Facebook groups. She is on a mission, like many of us, to heal her family.

The decals are her creation and are a lovely way to customise your Thermomix....  really make it your own. Not only are they gorgeous, but they protect the surface of your machine from light scratches. You can even get a decal for the side which has all the shortcuts! How handy is that!

Check out the extensive designs here.... www.thermostyle.com.au

You can customise them with your own photos too!

I am loving my decal... I have all red accessories in my kitchen so this has been a perfect way to match my Thermomix to my style! It is so easy to wipe over the surface of the machine.

Grab one for yourself, your partner, your mum, your friend now!

(Perfect gift for mothers day...hint hint)

Crunchy Coconut Cookies

Grain Free, Nut Free, Egg Free Coconut Cookie

perfect for Lunchboxes

Ingredients

2T coconut flour
30g coconut sugar
90g tapioca starch
50g coconut oil
30g rice malt syrup
1t vanilla extract
1/2t bicarb soda

Method

Blitz the coconut sugar in Thermomix until fine, 130 seconds, speed 10
Add remaining ingredients and combine, 30 seconds speed 4
Scrape down well and repeat
The mix will not come together in a ball, but look like moist bread crumbs
(do not be tempted to add more moisture)
Tip out into a bowl and using your hands bring the dough together into a ball
Carefully press small tsp size balls into discs using the palm of your hands
(The mix will fall apart if you try to roll into balls in your hands)

Place onto a lined baking tray
Bake for 10 minutes 180 degrees celcius
Remove from the oven briefly and flatten carefully using baking paper and MC

1. Cookies ready for oven 2. Cookies partially baked
3. Cover with baking paper and carefully press using MC
4. Pressed Cookies now ready to finish baking

Return to the oven for a final 5-10 minutes until golden
Cool on trays
Cookies will be soft when warm and will harden upon cooling

If you do not want to press your cookies mid baking,
they will still work perfectly fine, just be a little puffy like this

Pressed cookies - the crunchy texture is really delicious with the thinner pressed cookie

Store in an airtight container in the pantry

Notes:

Recipe Abbreviations
 A double quantity fits in the Thermomix bowl easily

If you prefer to replace the Rice Syrup with an alternative sweetener, use a liquid like maple syrup or honey

 

Too Crunchy?

If you would like a less crunchy cookie,
use ghee instead of coconut oil - you can use all ghee or half ghee/half coconut oil
use baking powder instead of bicarb soda

 

Other uses:

The mix would make a great crumble topping for fruit or a base for cheesecake or chocolate tart or sandwich between marshmallow

Dairy Free Ice Cream

Amazing easy to scoop straight from the freezer

This ice cream is delicious and will scoop straight from the freezer... it can be flavoured too.

The recipe can be found in my cookbooks (check the Index to see which book suits your family best). It is very simple, based on rice milk. It is refined sugar free, using rice malt syrup. You can also use maple syrup. If you don't tolerate rice, try it with quinoa milk, nut milk etc.



I usually mix mine in the Thermomix and then churn in an ice cream machine. My ice cream machine broke (just in time for summer!) and so I had to go back to the old way... mix, then leave in the freezer in a metal bowl for a few hours to set... then whip with a spoon and put in Tupperware.

The problem being that although this is very easy simple way to do it, and the ice cream still tastes amazing... it is not as light and fluffy as a churned ice cream. I thought I would see if the Thermomix could whip it up so it was lighter like it was when made in the ice cream machine. Happy to say, indeed it can, and in only 15 seconds! NICE!!

So for those of you using a Thermomix and not wanting to get another gadget...

Follow the method as per the recipe book...
Freeze in a metal bowl for a few hours (takes 4 hours in mine to set)
then
Pop the frozen mass into your Thermomix bowl
Whip 15 seconds, speed 6

It will be light and fluffy, just perfect!
Place in it's usual Tupperware container in the freezer to complete setting (another 2 hours)

If you want to eat it straight away, it will be soft serve consistency.

Want to make ice blocks?

Once whipped, scoop the ice cream into moulds, insert the sticks and freeze until set overnight... remove and wrap in small plastic bags and store in the freezer.

Flavouring

Coffee
This is delicious with a tablespoon of instant coffee added when initially mixing (decaf for failsafers)

Fruit Ripple
When you have whipped in Thermomix, place in it's container, then stir gently through 1 tablespoon of fruit jam, use a palette knife to stir so that you see swirls of colour (pear or choko jam for failsafers)

Caramel Crunch
Once whipped, place in it's container and stir through some chopped up honeycomb (available from Allergy Train) and Caramel Sauce

Chocolate
Add 1 tablespoon of cocoa, raw cacao or carob to the mix initially



Want to take ice cream to the next level and make it part of your healing foods... Make some rice milk kefir (which is a fermented drink full of probiotics), simply replace the rice milk in the recipe for the rice milk kefir... Gives the icecream a lovely tang! For the recipe see the Failsafe to Healing Workbook


enjoy!
