Sweet Genius

The heat is on when the lights go off! Darkness is the inspiration for the first test.

Don't crack under pressure! In the first test of genius, the chefs must cook frozen desserts that include hard-boiled eggs.

Chef Ron Ben-Israel decides which chef has hidden genius within through a final test featuring masquerade masks and candy apples.

On a wing and a prayer, the chefs try to create amazing frozen desserts with candied ginger and squid ink as mandatory ingredients.

Then in the second test, are diamonds a chef's best friend? The competitors are given that glistening inspiration as well as mandatory ingredients, duck fat and fusilli, as they attempt to make delicious baked desserts.

When the chefs are encouraged to think globally in the second test, are they in for a world of trouble?

With a disco ball as inspiration and carbonated candies as a mandatory ingredient, the final two chefs must rock out delicious desserts if they want to secure the Sweet Genius title and the $10,000 prize.

Fire! The chefs are burning to jump to it when they see the inspiration for the first test.
