Okay, here’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for…Desserts and Winners!

Dessert was definitely the most interesting course of the night because we all had to be extremely creative to be able to come up with a dish that incorporated asparagus but also tasted like dessert. Here’s what we came up with:

Team Spargel went with a light and fresh dessert: Asparagus Mint Fruit Cups. The dessert was definitely a refreshing end to their delicious Italian themed meal.

Team Asparagus stole the dessert round with their sweet and rich Asparagus Panna Cotta with a Raspberry Reduction Sauce. It was amazing that a that tasted dessert so good could have asparagus as a main ingredient!

Team LAM Chop was deemed by the judges as “taking the biggest risk” with their Asparagus Berry Crisp and Asparagus Pistachio Ice Cream. The ice cream was garnished with Candied Asparagus.

After an intense deliberation, the judges finally settled on a winner our competition: Team Asparagus. Their dessert helped put them over the edge, but throughout the competition Team Asparagus made some truly delicious dishes that expertly highlighted the secret ingredient.

All teams did a fantastic job and we all left the party feeling pleasantly sated and happy. Stay tuned for the next competition, scheduled for December 12th!
