"One of the Best Desserts From MasterChef Australia" | MasterChef Australia

ten seconds to go nine eight seven six five four three two one time's up well done georgia what are you doing time's up and i'm looking at my plate you're right how's your hand bleeding i did lose probably about 20 minutes at least during the course of the cook but i would love to get tasted i feel really good after my immunity cooked last week so um yeah just gunning for it [Music] right what a great cook full of energy creativity inspired just like we wanted you to be and why not there's a lot at stake you want that power open right yes yes usually we'd only taste the three most appealing dishes but the standard's been so high lots of technique and interesting food on show so we're going to taste four first dish we'd like to taste belongs to matthew as i'm taking the plate up to the judges i'm i'm really excited i didn't think that i'd done enough today i'm not really happy with the figs particularly but i've obviously done enough to excite them about this dish so there's blue cheese apple star anise and pecan in the tortellini there's a bacon honey and pecan crumble a rosemary oil and the grilled figs well done [Music] figs are nice and soft that's great um matthew you make tortellini like an italian grandmother who loves gianni versace dresses because it's all about the detail and the turning and the touch there's a lot of blue cheese in there and that could ruin this dish if not for those figs and it's the sweetness of the figs and the creaminess of those figs that just brings the saltiness of blue cheese back into line um it's a great combination i'm glad you worked out what to do with those figs i was worried you really didn't know where they were going to go you found the perfect place than you're done thank you good stuff we're going to pull a surprise thank you [Applause] next stop my goal today is actually to try and impress gary i know that he doesn't really like things he constructed i've been really conscious not to deconstruct everything and lose its flavor and the essence of it reynolds what have you cooked i've made blue cheese and fixed with apples and honey and rosemary ice cream pleased i'm really stoked uh it's the first mystery box that i'm actually happy with that ice cream looks really glossy and smooth so what was the flavor honey rosemary honey rosemary and cream again blue cheese is fun [Music] you know i'm going absolutely bonkers with your deconstructed stuff because you know sometimes actually most the time for me it doesn't really hit the mark and this is another example of you just going bonkers but this time it absolutely works and i love the ice cream the honey rosemary ice cream is delicious and it's that mixture of fresh and caramelized and crunchy and crispy and then soft cheese and of course the the blue cheese foam all just goes together and makes it really interesting and you're hunting for new flavors in that little tumble of ingredients reynolds this could be a winner thank you guys [Music] hearing that gary liked the dish and especially that was a little bit deconstructed thank god because i can i've convinced him a little bit so i'm just hoping that i can get that power open let's taste ashley's dish my terrain is the main element of my dessert but i think i would have liked it to look a little bit darker so i'm hoping that at least it's going to be sweet enough ashley last week during the pressure test you were right down to the wire in the elimination this week you start with the tasting how do you feel i feel great it's good to be at the top and not at the bottom again and what's a dish it's my take on an apple crumble so i've got apple and blue cheese terrine honey and rosemary semifredo and bacon pecan crumble itself it caught a ride because there's just lots of little elements in there and it looks really beautiful [Music] [Music] conceptually as a dish on paper when you said apple terrain we're excited because they're two words you can see it visualize it and you're excited about what the cook's going to give us but what i've got here is so much sugar and you seasoned each layer of apple with sugar it doesn't need it it's got its own natural sugar so you've got sugar figs have natural sugar apples that are glazed in sugar terrain that's got sugar in it i'm looking for a glass of water right now now i don't want to you know knock you down take this as positive criticism yeah on something that you can refine and make better yeah thank you [Applause] [Music] looking around at everybody's dishes there's a lot of desserts and a lot of really strong dessert people left after reynold's dish i think i've got no chance to be tasted the final dish will taste i still think that i remember the chance you know it looks beautiful and you know i know that the flavors are there is i want this more than anything any mystery box ever before i need to have my dish tasted today jesse [Music] i'm feeling really excited and really lucky to be tasted today not only did i make a dessert but i've also got a chance to win the power apron which is just amazing it's like you were surprised i'm really surprised are you why um i just i don't know just didn't expect it so jess tell us what your dishes uh focus on fresh figs um and then i had a blue cheese and honey parfait with a smoky styroney snow rosemary and pecan crumb with a apple caramel beautiful i'm going to say straight up it looks absolutely smashing because what i'm focused on is about three things figs ice cream snow crumble can we taste it please [Music] purely for professional reasons i'm going back in for a second i was unsure [Music] it's full of fruit boys it's okay blue cheese that apple caramel the fresh fig did you say smoke yeah i just use the smoky flavor from the basement to go in the milk very subtle in that snow and it is just absolutely smashing i don't think i've had a dish like that certainly not this year certainly not in the last couple of years in the kitchen it's so savoury but so delicious and so quite obviously a dessert [Music] i'm sort of getting confused is it a mystery box challenge or an invention test because this is so inventive you know i'm tasting licorice all the way and that beautiful reduced-down apple juice is like apple balsamic and the smoke then you connect all those flavors together and i get licorice i love it it's creative and it's not too sweet it's wonderful cheesy good i love this dish but the thing i love the most about this dish isn't that this is the best you should put up in the competition it's that moment at your bench when you have the realization that this dish was about beautiful fresh fig and that moment of taking one thing that's spectacular and building them a beautiful palace around it ideally you
