Spring Baking Championship Contestants-Gardener Anna & Gardener Shanna
30 Minutes on The Clock To Complete and Plate The Dessert
Anna Chose a Deconstructed Cannoli Pie To Represent Her Love For Italian Pastries
She mixed in her pudding- ricotta cheese, cream cheese and folded in whip cream with powdered sugar and a handful of chocolate chips. She then melted chocolate with butter and swirled it in the pudding right before plating. She also chopped up some almonds to use an accent on her final presentation.
Shanna Went With an Oat & Apple Pudding Pie In Honor of Her Grandparent's Apple Farm
She melted butter, brown sugar and added apples and oats. She layered the mixture on the bottom of the crust then added a layer of pudding dusted with cinnamon and a dollop of the apple mixture on top.
With 15 Seconds to Spare Both Desserts Get Plated
