Dessert Week The Great British Bake Off : Season 11 Episode 8

For what is the quarter-finals, the five remaining bakers will be tackling three dessert challenges. For the signature, they will each being making twelve identical mini baked cheesecakes. The difficulty of this challenge is the bake time, where seconds will be the difference between a cheesecake that will not hold up when sliced, versus one that is overset and rubbery in texture, which is further complicated by needing to cool the cheesecakes before decorating. They will also have the unexpected challenge in making theirs stand out from the crowd in many bakers using the same flavors. For the technical, they will each be making two of something most if not all have never heard of, a Sussex Pond pudding, an old fashioned steamed suet pudding with a whole lemon encased in the middle of each, they additionally needing to make a crème Anglaise to serve it with. Unlike most challenges, most of the bakers' time will be spent waiting for the puddings to steam. And for the showstopper, they are each to make a jelly art cake with a mousse layer. The jelly art will arguably be the most judged aspect, although the bakers cannot disregard any of the other components.
