Melting chocolate can be a fine art, but it is simple in the Thermomix. Stirring at a constant temperature of 50°C ensures the chocolate is perfectly tempered without burning the bottom of the bowl. The Thermomix also grates chocolate at lightning speed, which is a time saver.
The Thermomix can easily melt dark, milk, or white chocolate, which can be used for all kinds of recipes, like this Super Seed Dark Chocolate Bark, Oreo Balls and Chocolate Covered Strawberries.

Recipe Features
- Quick and effortless - the Thermomix can weigh, grate and melt all in one bowl.
- There is no manual stirring of the chocolate in a basin over a pan of boiling water (the traditional method).
- Perfect results every time.
Step-by-Step Directions
- Break the chocolate into small pieces and then add to the Thermomix bowl.
- To speed up the melting process, grate the chocolate for 8 seconds at speed 10.
- Melt the chocolate for 2-3 mins/50°C/speed 2. Scrape down the bowl and along the blades with a spatula. If necessary, melt the chocolate again for 1-2 minutes/50°/speed 2. Use as needed.
Top Tip
Make hot chocolate with the leftover chocolate in the Thermomix bowl! Simply add milk and heat it for 3-4 minutes, then mix for 30 seconds on speed 9, so it's frothy.
Expert Tips
It's worth noting that not all chocolate sets properly after being melted. From experience, I have learned that normal milk chocolate and white chocolate tend to be very soft. Dark chocolate is generally okay. You can buy milk chocolate, especially for melting, and I recommend Nestlé and Cadbury brands.

Hi there,
I'm just wondering if i could use this recipe to ice donuts like have the chocolate as the icing and if so then would i dip them in when their hot or cold?

Hi Evie,
Yes, you can definitely use the melted chocolate to ice donuts 😊
For best results, let the donuts cool first. If they’re hot, the chocolate can slide off or soak in rather than setting nicely.
Best regards,
Vicki
