Coconut and Passionfruit Meringue Nests
Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
Dylan: "I bake my meringues in a mold (mould). I've practiced it loads of times, but every time they crack, someone wise would probably change the idea. But I'm just going to keep trying!"
Voice-over: "If his plan succeeds, Dylan's meringue nests will take the form of coconut shells filled with coconut bavarois and topped with rum soaked Genoese sponge."

Paul Hollywood: "They look spectacular. That is really clever. Does look like coconut. Like an illusion."
Dylan: "There's a coconut bavarois with some passionfruit in there and then cubes of rum soaked genoise sponge.
Paul Hollywood: "You do get the coconut coming through. The bavarois is nice. That's got a beautiful texture to it."
"You've got texture, flavor, look of it."
"You've done something quite unique. (Gives a Hollywood Handshake.)
"It's original and it's delicious."

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.
