The other week, my friends and I did our second Top Chef/Throwdown style challenge. This time we did a dessert challenge and the goal was to create any dessert of our choice. My team made a duo of creme brulee: vanilla bean creme brulee and bananas foster cream brulee. The other team was really creative with their dessert. They made a sushi dessert dish, and everything looked exactly like sushi! I was so amazed!
The dessert challenge was a lot less stressful than our previous challenge. It was much easier to concentrate making one dish. This time we decided to give ourselves the whole day to create our dish and just make sure that everything was done by 9pm.
My team’s creme brulee turned out well, which is pretty exciting especially for my first time trying to make it. Out of the two that we made, I think that the bananas foster one was my favorite. You can never go wrong with a combination of banana, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Delish. The dessert sushi also tasted great and it was really fun to eat! I definitely want to try to make it one day.
So, it looks like these cook-offs are going to be an ongoing event. The next one we have planned is a breakfast challenge and I’m pretty excited because I already have an idea of what I want to make. So, stay tuned for the next challenge and I will post the creme brulee recipes soon!
