Plum and Almond Meringue Nests
Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
Voice-over: "With almond flavored meringue nests filled with orange curd, mascarpone amaretto cream and plum compote. Georgie is paying homage to a family favorite."
Georgie: "Mine are based on my aunties recipes. It's called Auntie Meryl's Marzipan Plums, but there's no marzipan in there. But you get that marzipan flavor from the amaretto."
Paul Hollywood: "I quite like the colors. The meringue's all over the place. A little bit sort of slid over to the side. I think that's actually more to do with your piping than anything."
Georgie: "There is almond meringue, Chantilly cream, orange curd and plum compote."
Prue Leith: "The curd works really well with the plums. And what I do like as well is the almond extract comes through beautifully well. It's just the right level."
Paul Hollywood: "Nice original flavors. Beautifully balanced. Thank you."

About The Great British Baking Show ™
The Great British Bake Off ™ (often abbreviated to Bake Off or GBBO and referred to in the United States as The Great British Baking Show ™) is a streamed British baking competition, in which a group of amateur bakers compete against each other in a series of rounds, hoping to impress the judges with their baking skills. One contestant in The Great British Baking Show ™ is eliminated in each round, and the winner is selected from the three contestants who reach the final.
The Great British Baking Show ™ operates on a weekly elimination process to find the best all-around baker from the contestants, who are all amateurs. In each episode, the bakers are given three challenges based on that week's theme: a signature bake, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. The bakes are assessed by the judges who then choose a "Star Baker" for the week, and a contestant is also eliminated. In the final round, three bakers are left and a winner is chosen from the three.
