Vitamix Custard / Power Blender Custard

My love affair with my Vitamix continues unabated, it is not (yet) on the list of things which I would grab if the flat was on fire; after all it is both easily replaceable and fairly heavy, but it is used several times a day and it was one of the first things which I packed for our recent week away in the Cotswolds. When you take a gadget on holiday with you, you know it is a meaningful relationship!

I (touch wood) realised the other day that I got though the winter months without the merest hint of a cold, I am attributing this to my daily breakfast green smoothie, whizzed up to silky smooth perfection in the Vitamix, providing me with around 5 portions of raw fruit and vegetables in my first meal of the day.

As well as aiding a healthier diet the Vitamix, or other power blender such as a Froothie Optimum can also be used for some more indulgent treats, such as this perfect custard which whizzes up in just over 5 minutes. Such is the power of the motor and speed of the blades, if you leave the machine running for a few minutes it will both heat and cook.

Although I named this recipe Easy Vitamix Custard, a better name might be “power blender bung it all in and whizz it custard”, it really is that simple to make. Serve in a pretty jug to accompany a pudding or chill to use as an ice cream base.

How to Freeze Egg Whites

Simply pour each egg white into a spotlessly clean silicon cupcake case and freeze. Once frozen pop out into a tub or plastic bag and use for marshmallows, meringue, pavlova or macarons.

What can I do with Egg Shells?

Don’t throw those egg shells in the bin as there are umpteen ways to use them.

If you have a dog peel off the membrane and pop it in their bowl. Herbert gobbles his down. The raw membranes are rich in glucosamine, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin and collagen which have been proven to ease joint pain and help mobility.
Wash, dry and grind the shells and sprinkle on your dog’s food.
Pop them down the waste disposal, the ground shells will help scrape the pipes clean.
Use a crushed handful to help clean stubborn dirt from pots and pans.
Use in the garden spread around seedlings to deter slugs and snails

Many thanks to Vitamix for my review machine.
