I really loved this recipe served hot but was wondering if anyone has eaten it cold as I am looking for salads at the moment.

Judy I think this is nice eaten cold as a salad.  It is very tasty.  I have also mixed it with cooked and cooled Risoni pasta.  This makes a tasty and easy pasta salad.  Enjoy

Thanks for the heads up Bootobethin, great idea to turn it into a pasta salad too.

Edited to add - tried it as a salad and yes it works really well.

Made this last night as sides to BBQ steak, it was delish.  Fed four adults and one child with small amount left over.  Didn't tweak anything.  Will be one the menu again for sure.  My first recipe from QFITT.

I had planned to make this today when I saw the temperature would be 39C. The frozen fruit pieces seemed to combine all as one big 2L block and I wanted to make it before the girls went to sleep so that I didn't wake them up. It was a struggle to separate but with the help of a knife and lots of bashing, I got there in the end. I found it was too much to put the whole lot in at once (physically) so did it in two batches. I'm not sure that the last step of the process does anything really.

I would agree with the others and say this serves more than 4. Probably more like 6.I used passionfruit pulp from a jar instead of the real stuff. So the sorbet itself was nice but both hubby and I thought it lacked sweetness, something which we didn't mind the more we ate.

I made a half serve of the corn dish as I only had two cobs of corn, but substituted ham for the pancetta and it was delicious. DD wants mew to cook it again. :)

It's a favourite of mine too ES, haven't done it for a while.  It's nice cold as a salad too.

I had to review this recipe as i really love it.  I've also adapted it to use frozen corn if catering for a dinner party.  I used 750g of frozen corn, 600g chicken stock for 12 people and had plenty left over. 
I reheated some in the varoma the next day and it still tasted good. 
I was trying to impress some non-thermomix owners by cooking the corn below, and steaming some brocolli above in the varoma but they didn't seem to notice  :(   >:(
