As seen on TV
Which Show?
Who made this dish?
Tom recreated his favorite sandwich, spreading sour cherry jam over his sweet pastry case before topping it with a treacle filling packed with peanut butter and blitzed roasted peanuts, decorated with pastry peanuts and cherries, and served with a tangy cream cheese vanilla ice cream served soft, like a McFlurry.
Tom: "I made a treacle tart with my nan when I was a kid and I didn't really like it, so I didn't make it again."
Tom: "I'm making peanut butter and jam treacle tarts. I am quite a connoisseur of a peanut butter and jam sandwich. It's like one of my obsessions. My favorite to go with it, the cherry conserve. You get a full little cherry in your sandwich. Gorge."
Tom: "It's going to be peanut butter and peanuts folded into the treacle tart mixture."
Tom (asked if he loves peanut butter): "Yeah, it's my favorite." (Asked whether the peanuts are whole or chopped:) "Blitzed."
Tom: "I think they're intrigued. That's what we want. We want to keep them intrigued."
Tom: "If you mess up on your golden syrup, then you got to start again, really, aren't you?"
Tom: "Pastry is looking good. It's a nice texture."
Tom: "Bit brown, but I suppose that's what we're wanting. So gonna give it an egg wash. Popping it back in for five."
Tom: "That's my peanuts blitzed. Deep roasted. I think it's nice, just get a bit of texture in there. Judges are going to go nuts for my nuts."
Tom: "This is the final bake now, so I'm gonna put it in for half an hour."
Tom: "I've got whole milk, double cream, bit of cream cheese. It's not too sweet. Anybody can do it at home."
Tom (asked if the decorations are peanuts): "They are peanuts."
Tom: "You literally just blend it and get it straight into the ice cream machine. Gorgeous."
Tom: "Connie, can you help me? Quickly. Oh, my God. Cherries. It's just for decoration purposes."
Tom: "My treacle tart is peanut butter and cherry jam with soft serve vanilla ice cream."
Tom (asked if the soft serve was on purpose): "Yeah. I wanted it to be a bit like a McFlurry."
Tom: "Paul said that my bake was pleasurable. Who says that?"
Nigella Lawson (at the briefing, on the roasted peanuts): "Nice and toasty. I like that."
Nigella Lawson: "I rather love that pastry. Looks bronzed."
Paul Hollywood: "I like the decoration as well."
Nigella Lawson: "Was it soft serve on purpose?"
Nigella Lawson: "If I didn't know the name of the challenge, I don't know that I would know there was meant to be a treacle tart in there somewhere. But I love it."
Paul Hollywood: "The peanuts are really punchy, and the cherry jam as well. That's creating something unique. And with the ice cream, it's a very pleasurable thing to eat. Well done, Tom."
