Cream caramel in the Thermomix/Varoma

A simple dessert that can be made the night before – delicious! For the caramel, melt 200g of sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add 100g of hot water while stirring constantly (otherwise it will splash). Continue cooking over medium heat until the liquid has the consistency of syrup. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool completely. Pour some of the liquid caramel into a loaf pan (approx. 22 x 12 x 7 cm) or soufflé dishes (in this case, reduce the cooking time to 30 minutes). Mix the milk, eggs, and sugar in the mixing bowl for 10 seconds/speed 4. Slowly pour the egg wash onto the caramel. Cover the dish(es) with aluminum foil and place in the Varoma. Cover the whole thing with kitchen paper to absorb any condensation. Then close the lid. Add water to the mixing bowl, attach the Varoma, and cook for 40 minutes/Varoma/speed 1. Test for doneness. To do this, pierce the pudding with a toothpick. If any sticks remain, reseal the dish and extend the cooking time. After cooking, let the dish cool for 1 hour and then refrigerate for at least another hour. To serve, turn the pudding out onto a suitable plate or serving platter and remove the dish(es).
