Chocolate cake
This is our go-to for kids’ birthday parties and our G.O.A.T chocolate cake recipe on Cookidoo ®. It’s super quick and easy, with simple ingredients and just 15 minutes of prep making 24 crowd-pleasing portions ready to go in just one hour. Top with fresh strawberries and dollop with whipped cream.
Hot chocolate
On those crisp winter days, nothing hits the spot like a creamy, steamy mug of hot chocolate. But you don’t need barista training to nail that classic nightcap when your Thermomix ® and Cookidoo ® can whip up your choccy fix in minutes. Get it served just how you like it by adding a hit spice. Try it with a little vanilla, cardamom, chilli or ginger. Or chill and have it shaken with a dash of Baileys and vanilla vodka for a chocolate Martini!
Chocolate ganache
This velvety goodness is so simple to make and oh, so versatile. Pour a smooth mirror glaze on your chocolate cakes. Drizzle over bundt cakes. Fill pastries and tarts. Swirl it into homemade ice cream. Add a little extra cream and serve hot as a fudgy sauce for ice cream sundaes. Serve it as a dipping sauce for doughnuts and churros, or with strawberries and bananas for a simple chocolate dessert.
Chocolate ice cream
Irresistibly creamy and chocolatey. Not too rich. Not too sweet. Just delicious, and easy to whip up ready to serve the same day. It’s made with nothing but the good stuff – 70% cocoa dark chocolate – and six simple ingredients. And our favourite summer party twist is to throw in some fresh raspberries and put it on a stick with our Chocolate Bar Ice Cream Moulds.
Chocolate brownie
One for the connoisseurs, our brownie recipe is a favourite of Brisbane’s finest bakers of decadence, The Magnolia Kitchen. The rich velvety smooth fudgy middles are to die for. Make them your own with a handful or two of fresh raspberries, or a swirl of caramel and a sprinkle of walnuts. And if you find yourselves fighting over who gets the chewy corners, grab our 12-hole Rose Gold Brownie Pan so everyone gets a square of bliss.
Tempered chocolate
Take the art of chocolate bark and homemade chocolate treats out of the too-hard Easter basket. With Thermomix and Cookidoo ® as your master confectioner guides, the tricky timing and temperature control for smooth, glossy, firm, tempered chocolate is as easy as tapping ‘next’. Then make it your own, adding dried strawberries, honeycomb, seeds, nuts or quinoa and a pinch of salt. A great way to style up leftover Easter chocolate.
Chocolate Mousse
Little pots of dreamy, silky-smooth chocolatey heaven. This easy chocolate recipe is devilishly moreish. If you’re trying to be extra good, forgo the cream and add avocado for healthier chocolate desserts that’ll still kick your diet goals.
Chocolate carrot muffins
If your mini-me is a picky little monster at mealtimes, you’ve got to get good at playing hide the veggies. This triple-tested chocolate recipe for toddlers and beyond changes the game. It’s got all the nutrient-rich goodness of carrot, sunflower seeds and dates, but trust us, they won’t suspect a thing when you pop one of these on their plate.
Hazelnut chocolate spread
Skip the additive-filled middle aisles of the supermarket and save at the checkout. This better-than-the-real-thing homemade Nutella is made with six simple ingredients and just 15 minutes of prep. Adjust it to lower your sugar intake. Store it in your fridge and spread it on your toast, pancakes, cupcakes and biscuit sandwiches. It keeps for up to three weeks but tastes so good it rarely lasts that long.
Chocolate lava cake
The ultimate heart melter. Who doesn’t love a lava cake? Crispy outer shell. Light and airy on the inside. Ooey-gooey, fudgy molten bliss in the middle. And here’s our cheat for hitting the timing and temperature sweet spot every time – the Thermomix® Sensor. This seriously smart thermometer takes all the guesswork out of predicting when your bakes (or meat or fish) are done to perfection.
