Pastry Pressure Test | MasterChef Canada | MasterChef World

are you ready to find out which  dish you go to have to master a delicious French fruit tart a French fruit  tart I have very little experience with any   type of pastry and especially one that looks  like that the secret to this beautiful dessert   is finding the perfect balance between several  stunning components first a buttery pastry which   must be baked to a crisp and flaky golden brown  secondly a silky smooth layer of vanilla bean   pastry cream stirred to the perfect consistency  and to top it all off a stunning arrangement of   fresh fruit all coated in a deliciously light  apple glaze the slightest misstep could end   your MasterChef Canada journey please come up and  have a taste I'm from New Brunswick I've never   seen a French fruit tart at any of the bakeries  that I go to this is way out of my expertise   this is gonna be hard this is gonna be really  difficult to replicate I'm not really is strong   with desert as I am as savory stuff but you  know what I'm gonna bring it I'm gonna make a   perfect pastry it's gonna be art in a cart good  luck and please go to your stations there's not   gonna be an easy challenge seeing that so  many strong home cooks are down there it's   gonna be a dogfight at your stations you'll  find everything you need to replicate this   delicious French dessert and 45 minutes to do it  in are you ready yes your time starts now [Music] I'm so nervous right now and I'm not even  cooking this is on I don't do pastry I   don't do pastry at all I'm gonna need  a miracle today I believe in miracles making perfect pastry under a 45-minute time  clock is never ever guess this is the first time   two cooks are going ahead in a pressure test you  can cut the tension here overnight the pressure   is huge you know this is a replication challenge  that there are three major components to making   this French fruit tub the pastry the pastry cream  and fruit today has to be a shining moment for me   strategy here is to not make any mistakes it's  got to be perfect we're flying a pastry crust   is key but it delicately work the pastry have  to cook that pastry to perfection if it's too   thin it'll break it's too thick it'll be raw in  the middle the pastry cream you have to whip up   your egg yolks with the sugar scold your milk  and cream and slowly cook it out then you can   flavor it with your vanilla you can improvise a  pastry I had to do it well or the disaster there's   nowhere to hide [Music] worried about David  here dough is sticking I'm looking at a mess   keep on trying to pull it off it's not working  this is horrible [Music] I'm starting again I'm gonna make it beautiful it's gotta taste  good it's got to look good a lot of things to   go wrong feeling great stuff I'm used to working  under pressure I love it who do you think's go   home probably Andrews going home his nerves are  getting to him who's the other one I don't know   so it's not gonna be you eh oh don't stiffly not  I'm not going home Farley if you did good luck Andrew yeah how do you feel like I'm not feeling  super-confident but you know what I'm not going   on with a fight so a lot of your fellow home cooks  after the team challenge seem very frustrated with   you yeah I feel guilty about that so who do you  think's going on I think it's possibility John   might go home today John really yeah I don't think  he's gonna pull it out I haven't looked back it   I'm running my own race right now chef it's not  my concern what he's doing I'm just want to be   better all right we'll keep your eye on the clock  Thank You chef good luck thank you this is really   freaking intense tell me now hands to be going  home today Oh John is the first one to actually   start blazing you glaze the top of the fruit it's  got to be clean sheet so it's like glass [Music] this is cutting it really close [Music]   Hey amazing relief I think I'm gonna be  okay now looking over at the other peoples I'm going I got this it's time to taste your  french fruit tart maybe the first thing that   I notice is how high the fruit is it's it's as  if the food it just wants to sort of jump out   it looks great let's see how it cuts looks like  some real craftsmanship there David thin crust   and to get the pastry that even all the way it's  a little finesse [Music] let's see how it tastes a nice Christmas to the pastry  the pastry cream could have been   just a tad softer the fruit are you  gonna cut thick have them all thick   that's the consistency and yours has that  consistency all in all quite impressive hey drew yes how do you feel about  this I'm actually kind of proud this   is something that is so foreign to me  you know this is a mighty fine-looking   tart considering you've done it in 45  minutes I think it's a very good effort I mean looks good looks very good you have  very nicely precise cut on your fruit I   try to get everything as uniform as possible  the crust is crispy sin even but the pastry   cream unfortunately it's a plan I can't taste the  vanilla at all it lacks a little taste not so good Glenn how are you good how are you chef  oh look how exact that is it's beautiful did not skimp on the pastry cream  did you know sir cuz it tastes yummy I don't I don't find any faults in this tart  Thank You chef you just keep getting better   Lin Trust is I mean it's like it's like a machine  did it the cream is light then crust and again 45   minutes I've never made one of these before ever  so I'm actually surprising myself every day that   I'm here keep doing that and you might land  the biggest surprise Thank You chef [Music]
