MasterChef Australia star wins major challenge with dish to be stocked in Coles
It's the challenge MasterChef contestants – and viewers – most look forward to each season. This year, there was a fresh twist on the long-running Channel 10 cooking series as Curtis Stone returned to the kitchen, tasking the cooks with imagining a winning dish to be stocked at supermarket giant Coles. While the brief has in years past been to create a special sauce, this time around, the Back to Win contestants were challenged with whipping up the tastiest 'winter warmer' ice-cream flavour. It's a particularly beloved challenge among viewers, giving fans the chance to taste the handiwork they only get to see on a TV screen. And competition was fierce, with the cast pulling out the big guns for a slice of the coveted Coles freezer section. Sarah wanted to embrace nostalgia, dreaming up a 'spider' inspired dessert, while Ben combined the tropical flavours of banana and coconut. Jamie, meanwhile, pictured a night by the fire with a Dark and Stormy cocktail, using rum and ginger to concoct his own sweet treat. Former runner-up Laura went for a classic flavour profile: Sticky Date Pudding. Sounds simple, though Laura was using up to nine elements in her dish, including homemade pineapple caramel, charred and pickled pineapple and rum. After hitting a hurdle at the very last minute, with Laura needing to use liquid nitrogen to churn her ice cream to plate in time, the three-time MasterChef competitor was ultimately crowned winner of the challenge, with her ice-cream to be stocked in Coles from tomorrow. 'If I was competing against you today, I'd be really annoyed I didn't think of that,' judge Poh Ling Yeow said. 'Decadent, silky, it was the ultimate winter warmer, and we can't wait to see it on the shelves.' Stone added, 'The idea of turning a quintessential winter pudding into an ice-cream is really smart. What you've done is, you've given us all those flavours we love. The butter, the richness, the caramel, the dates, and you've turned it into this velvety masterpiece.' Laura said she was thrilled to have her very own ice-cream stocked in Coles, a dream which typically would take 'years' to pull off. 'It's honestly so surreal,' she said. 'Such an incredible opportunity that usually takes years to get to this stage, so have the opportunity to do this in such a short amount of time is truly special.' Laura's Sticky Date Pudding & Butterscotch Sauce Ice Cream ($8 per tub) will be available exclusively at Coles stores nationally for a limited time from June 26.
