Lime and Chocolate Frangipane Tarts
Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
Andy: "As a child, I used to visit my nan and I would run to the bowl of sweets and I'd always pick the lime chocolates."
Voice-over: "Andy combined his favourite childhood flavours of lime and chocolate with an almond and pistachio frangipane."
Prue Leith: "Are you baking the frangipan and the pastry together?
Andy: "I'm going to blind bake for ten minutes, then come out, and then frangipane will go in 20 minutes. Maybe 22 minutes. That comes out. A curd should go on top. That goes in the fridge."
"When you're piping like this, you have to be really precise."
"They're definitely wiggly."
Andy: "So my tarts are a pistachio frangipane with a lime curd and a chocolate ganache."
"Lime curd is delicious, isn't it? The pistachio frangipane is delicious. Your pastry bed, it is over baked."
"But I love the flavor, and I could definitely eat a whole one."

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.
