Raspberry Cream Cheese made in the Thermomix


One place that I miss from Canada is Tim Hortons! It is a donut & coffee chain that feels like home. I wouldn't rank their coffee as the greatest but my favourite treats from there are raisin tea biscuits, cinnamon sugar cake donuts, and a toasted sesame seed bagel with strawberry cream cheese. Yum...I'm getting hungry now! 

Sweet, fruit flavoured cream cheese isn't only found at Tim Hortons, it is a regular grocery item...and an item that I miss here is Australia! So, when we picked up some bagels (hard to find here as well) this week I whined that they'd be so much better with my favouirite cream cheese. Then I thought duh! I have a Thermomix- I can make it myself! No added preservatives, colours and any flavour I would like!

Try this light, fruity, spread on toasted bread or bagels or use as a dip or topping for fruit salad and you will be making it a favourite of your own!
Ingredients:
100g frozen raspberries
Dash of water
250g cream cheese  
25g agave syrup

Method:
Chop berries and water speed 4, 5 seconds. Scrape down bowl.

Add cream cheese and agave. 
Mix 20 seconds speed 4.


Easy and delicious! 



Happy Thermomixing :)

Put in TM bowl. Add pinch of rock salt and pinch of raw sugar. Gradually add grapeseed oil (enough to make a smooth paste) through the lid as you blend 40 seconds, speed 8. 

Store in the fridge, up to 2 months.

Spicy Red Pepper Dip in the Thermomix

Last night we went to a Matt Corby concert at the Fremantle Arts Centre and needed a yummy snack to enjoy during the music! I took at look at some dips at the shops last week to get inspiration for flavour combinations and was excited to come home and make a fresh and preservative free dip! Here is my first creation...it was really yummy and not too spicy so don't worry!

Ingredients and Method:

1 garlic clove
250 g cream cheese
60 g roasted red peppers
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chili flakes
1 tsp salt

Add all ingredients to TM bowl. Mix 20 seconds, speed 4. Or until desired consistency. Serve!
