To follow up after my post on Tempering Chocolate; it would be remiss of me if I did not tell you how to wash your Thermomix bowl after melting chocolate. Especially now that Easter is only 3 weeks away, as I’m sure there will be lots of melting chocolate happening!
It would be absolutely wrong IMHO to wash the bowl the way we wash it normally after preparing any other food – as this would mean chocolate would be tipped down the drain…. Aarrrrghhhh now that’s enough to give me nightmares at even the thought of it!! ;)
So below is the recipe on how to 'clean' your bowl resulting in being able to enjoy hot chocolate milk knowing that you have not wasted any chocolate!

This is my go to recipe for ‘washing’ my tm bowl out after anything sweet... today I made condensed milk then ‘washed’ my bowl out with milk and some hot choc powder.... Yummo! My girls love it!

Leonie a great way to get all the chocolate out of the bowl. I add a shot of my favourite coffee from the nespresso machine and make a mocha hot chocolate with marshmellow!! Yum.

Great tip. Last week I melted milk choc to cover muesli bars. Then I didn't wash the bowl I made a whole orange cake and added a handful of melts at the end. However next time. I'll do this! My kids will love it.
