Final Exam - Chopped Mystery Baskets
Students were given 4 ingredients in their mystery baskets and had one hour to prepare a dessert.
The ingredients were:
- heavy cream
- mango
- sugar-free chocolate chocolate-chip cookies
- Wasabi Peas
They could then use any other ingredients of their choice that they found in the kitchen.
Well, how did they do?
Interesting results - both choosing to do a cake desert.
The first team make cupcakes with the Wasabi peas in the cupcake batter, topped with icing made from the heavy cream and the cookies. On the icing was a mango syrup.
The second team chose a cake sitting in a cream sauce made from the heavy cream and cookies. The cake was topped with the mangos cooked with the Wasabi peas.
Chef had constructive suggestions, as they will be creating another dessert for their final from mystery basket ingredients. Over the course of 3 days, they will have to prepare an appetizer, an entree and a dessert.
As for me, being a tester - I loved both desserts!
