Episode Summary
Pressure Test: Kirsten Tibballs — The contestants aside from Theo faced a two-round challenge set by Kirsten Tibballs, who presented her favourite dessert ingredients. The contestants had to split the ingredients and 90 minutes, with the bottom three in the first round only getting whatever ingredients and time they had left after the first round to use in the second round. In the first round, Brent elected to use his immunity pin, which meant that only one contestant would be safe from cooking in the second round. Declan, who took a risk by leaving only 33 minutes for the second round, cooked choux buns with raspberry craquelin and hazelnut praline, which impressed the judges with its flavours and technique, receiving immediate safety from elimination, and therefore winning the first round. In the second round, Rhiannon, with 49 minutes remaining, cooked a chocolate fondant with hazelnut ice cream and a lemon crumb. While the judges liked the flavours, the chocolate fondant was undercooked. Cath, with 39 minutes remaining, cooked a flourless chocolate cake with a vanilla bean ice cream and raspberry coulis, which impressed the judges with its flavours and textures. Malissa, also with 39 minutes remaining, cooked a hazelnut ice cream sandwich with a chocolate ganache. While the judges liked the flavour of the hazelnut ice cream, the biscuits had too much baking powder in them, which affected the flavour of the dish, resulting her being the thirteenth contestant to be eliminated.
