Dessert has been done a million times, but we’re ready to see just how boldly you can break the mold! This is your chance to rethink everything you know about the final course. Think beyond the classics, beyond the trends, beyond what anyone expects.
Your challenge: Create a restaurant quality dessert that has never existed before. Any flavor profile, any technique, any cultural inspiration is fair game – as long as the end result is truly original. You must safely incorporate eggs into your sweet creation.
