Sweet Genius

Spicy hot candy and a rare fruit in frozen desserts; baked desserts; bone chilling ingredient.

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.

Butterflies are the source of inspiration for the first test; 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?
