Hi everyone,
this looks so nice and probably edible from the jar!
I am going to make similar to choc ripple cake but with butternut snap biscuits and caramel.  How much does this reduce?  I'm wondering if I should just make half? A tin of top n fill caramel will easily do one and that's about 400g.
thanks
Narelle

It reduces heaps - I think down to about the same volume as a tin.

Mine reduced down tooooo far while I was playing around.  But think you could probably try checking some out after 35 minutes and see how thick it is then and then go longer if you want it thicker.    But remember to go speed 5 !!!!!!

Mine is almost like jelly.

If it goes like jelly? just add some more milk, blitz it and another 5 or 10 mins again! Pefect consistency!

[~Narelle~]

Mine is perfect.  Watched it like a hawk in case of overflow but no dramas.  It made about 2 tins worth, so probably reduced by about half I'd say.  Enough for caramel ripple cake and some left over.  Cooking butternut snap biscuits at the moment to make little cases that I will fill with this and top with cream for a special dessert tonight.

They sound delicious Narelle.

Thanks bron - actually did this last night to pour over MrsT's steamed xmas pud.  The night before I hid a piece of cocnut ice in the middle before microwaving - she is enjoying the lead up to chrissie.

Good work ~Narelle~ glad to hear it worked.

That was nice of you Thermomixer, especially as you said Mrs T likes the coconut ice.

Lucky Mrs T, getting surprises before Christmas Day.

Made 10 more with coconut ice in for lunch today - see what others think.

Mindful of the problem others have had with this recipe overflowing, I made it today for a Banoffee Pie. I made it many months ago when my machine was fairly new and the only problem I seemed to have today was a slight dripping from the lid at the back of the machine.  I just put some chux wipes there to catch it and prevent it spreading and after 24 minutes, it stopped dripping altogether. Didn't foam like mama_bels though so I think my problem was because I might need to replace my lid seal.

They seem to need changing after about 18 months - makes a big difference.

OMG, OMG, OMG.  Made this today and even though I used low fat organic milk (cause that's all I had) instead of whole milk it turned out perfectly.  It is sooooo yummy!!!  Once I made it I had to make something to put it on so I made an apple crumble.  it will be hard not to throw this one together every day and eat it all : )

[Thermomixer]

LOL - too true.  Once you do it and it works......

Mine needed replacing as it was split from day one.  I was so excited the day I got my new seal and Thermie didn't leak everywhere.  It made life so much easier!
