Maple Tart with Whipped Yoghurt, Pine Nuts and Maple Brown Butter Pineapple

Bailey: "I made a maple tart. It is a set maple custard. I have some whipped yogurt with a little maple in that as well, and then some maple brown butter flambéed pineapple."
Judges
"The maple was there, but doesn't necessarily come through as maple, per se. It just feels sweet."
"Which is to say it's not there."
(Laughs). "Right. Which is to say it's not there."
"The tart was under baked. All I taste is flour."
"I just don't think it's maple forward enough."
Judges Table
"I was excited about the idea of a maple tart. We got no maple."
"How did you make the filling? Eggs?"
Bailey: "Sugar maple, honey."
"Why honey with maple?"
Bailey: "I was worried about the viscosity. I thought that it might not set."
"Add an extra egg."
"The tart was very shallow. Dough was thick. When it comes to dessert, you want that to give you a little bit more love than what we got."
