How to Make Thermomix Melting Moments
Note: This is a summary of the instructions. The full ingredients and instructions are shown in the recipe card below.
Step 1: To make the dough, beat the butter and icing sugar together for a few minutes until pale and creamy. Then add the flour, custard powder, and vanilla extract and beat until the dough comes together.
Step 2: Roll tablespoons of the dough into balls and arrange them on a baking tray, leaving a few centimetres between each one. To get the grooved effect, gently press down on each ball with the back of a lightly floured fork.
Step 3: Make the buttercream in the Thermomix. Generously spread one of the biscuits with buttercream and gently press the other one down so there's enough icing hanging over the edge for the sprinkles to stick to.
Step 4: Dip the melting moments in Christmas sprinkles and enjoy!
Storage
These Melting moments taste best when fresh, but any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for a few days.
📖 Recipe
Thermomix Christmas Melting Moments
These delicious buttery Thermomix Christmas Melting Moments are sandwiched with silky buttercream icing and dipped in Christmas-themed sprinkles.
Ingredients
For the Biscuits
- 175g unsalted butter, softened (see notes below)
- 75g icing sugar (see notes below)
- 175g plain flour
- 50g custard powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling
- 200 g icing sugar
- 90 g unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon boiling water
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Red, green and white sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C fan / 180°C and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Insert the Butterfly Whisk: Add the butter and icing sugar to the Thermomix bowl and beat for 20 sec/speed 3.5. Scrape down the bowl and repeat a couple of times until the mixture is pale and creamy.
- Remove Butterfly Whisk: Add the flour, custard powder and vanilla extract and mix for 20 sec/speed 4. Scrape down the bowl and mix again for 15 sec/speed 4 until the dough comes together.
- Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and arrange them on the baking tray, allowing a few centimetres between each one. Press down on each one with the back of a lightly floured fork.
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden around the edges.
- Allow them to cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes (they will still be soft) before transferring them to a baking rack to cool completely before icing.
For the Buttercream Icing
- Place the icing sugar and butter into the Thermomix bowl and mix for 10 sec/speed 6. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
- Insert Butterfly Whisk: Add 1 teaspoon of boiling water and ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract to the icing mixture and mix for 2 min/speed 3. Remove the butterfly whisk, transfer into a bowl, and set aside until the biscuits have cooled completely.
To Assemble
- Spoon generous amounts of icing onto the underside of half the biscuits and sandwich with the remaining biscuits. Press down so some buttercream seeps over the edge, then dip in the sprinkles.
