Orange and Cardamom Basque Cheesecake
Iain: "Orange extract, orange zest and a little bit of orange food coloring as well."
Iain: "Orange everything. And cardamom."
Iain: "I actually don't like my cheesecake. I don't really like cardamom and orange."
Iain made orange curd to top the cheesecake. The cheesecake is festively decorated with candied oranges, orange curd mascarpone cream and cardamom twists with bright yellow coloring around it.
Paul: "I like the candied orange."
Prue: "They look properly candied. The bright yellow.... what is that?"
Iain: "There's a little bit of food coloring."
Paul: ""There's coloring? It's a little excessive."
Prue: "A little bit. You've got a lot of zest in there. I think it's a bit too much."
Paul: "It's almost on the bitter side. It's like you are grating away and sort of got most of the pith and not much of the zest."
Prue: "I like the texture and it's got a wobble."
Paul: ""I think overall the bake is good. I love the decoration. I don't think you needed that yellow coloring to be honest."
Prue: "I think you could have just stuck to the orange slices."
