The five remaining dessert makers on Zumbo’s Just Desserts took on their riskiest challenge yet by reinventing an Aussie classic.
No-nonsense mum Kate took out Dessert Maker of the Day for the second time this competition for her Caramel Mousse Slice. “You took that caramel slice to the next level,” Adriano Zumbo said.
Two of the most consistent competitors found themselves battling each other in the Zumbo Test. Irene plated a Pavlova with Kiwi Sorbet and Pineapple Chantilly Cream but it missed the brief. “Your pavlova had a nice meringue but it wasn’t the reinvention we were expecting,” Rachel Khoo said.
Brogen created a Vanilla and Passionfruit Slice which Zumbo called “rubbery”. “It was a weird texture – it was playing with my mind.”
Inspired by days at the beach and an Aussie classic ice block, Zumbo unveiled the Frosty Fruit Flan for his Zumbo Test.
