[Signature challenge: baked cheesecake inspired by a family favorite, baked with a relative] 


Mo and his cousin Ezra made a cardamom Basque cheesecake with lemon, topped with strawberry compote and pistachio paste, inspired by the bakes Mo makes for his family. 


{Noel}: "Mo, what's it like having your cousin here?" 


Mo: "It's quite nice. I mean, that's what I can say." 


Mo: "When my mom's like, oh, they're coming over, I'll be like, this person likes this, let me make it for them." 


Mo: "Get a paper towel and just dab them dry. Gently stir that." (to Ezra) 


{Mo}: "She attempted to zest the lemon. She left half the lemon." [speaker/relative unclear] 


Mo: "It's a cardamom Basque cheesecake. On top is a strawberry compote and some pistachio paste."

Paul: "It's very busy with the flavors. Just pick two, and one highlights the other." 


Nigella: "You know you want three. You know you do. I think you do have to have confidence in your flavors, 'cause it's got the beginnings of a really excellent cheesecake."
