Coconut, Mango and Passion Fruit Frangipane Tarts
Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
Illyin is adding a tropical twist to her frangipane.
Illyin: "I am making a toasted coconut frangipane. I want it to taste like sunshine and to hopefully look like sunshine as well."
Voice-over "Illyin's ambitious coconut frangipan tarts will be topped with a passion fruit mousse dome, mango jelly and decorated with chantilly cream."
Prue Leith: "Sounds absolutely wonderful."
"I do quite like the decoration. It's quite cute, but the pastry shells look terrible."
Illyin: "I needed to make the pastry again. They all started to collapse. All right, so it's a shortcrust pastry with a coconut frangipane, a mango and lime gel topped with a passionfruit mousse dome."
(Judges taste): "I would have concentrated on one - either mango or passionfruit, because that would have come out stronger.
"Pastry is a little underbaked, I think."
"Yes, pastry is underbaked. Quite soggy, actually."

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.
