MasterChef Australia: Sweet Week

Heston Blumenthal kicks off a Sweet Week theme on Sunday.

As previously revealed, Heston Blumenthal is back in the MasterChef kitchen this season, kicking off a Sweet Week theme on Sunday.

Sunday night, Heston reveals a mystery box full of mixed lollies that will inspire our contestant’s cook and award one of them a chance to cook for immunity.

Empty your cereal boxes as tonight’s Invention Test is all about serving a sweet dish that uses cereal in an innovative way.

Monday night’s pressure test is set by the Queen of Croissants, Melbourne’s own Kate Reid from Lune Croissanterie. It’s a two-day challenge for our bottom three to recreate one of Lune’s black forest croissants.

The sweets keep coming on Tuesday as contestants must make four delicious ice-creams in a cone in a round one immunity cook. Then the best cook from round one cooks off against pastry chef Alice Wright from Millstone in Melbourne.

Wednesday’s team challenge requires contestants to create a delicious, sweet dish that is identical in look, texture and flavour to their teammate’s dish. The top two teams will send their makers straight into the Top 10.

In a surprise twist, we end Sweet Week on a sugar low as the bottom three teams must make a sweet dish without using refined sugar.

7:30pm Sunday  – Thursday on 10.

  1. I always love Sweet Week and am looking forward to what the contestants cook up this year – though I have a feeling it won’t be as ‘chocolaty’ and ‘magical’ as it was last time…was hoping to see Heston more this season though he might come back later on, maybe in the finale week?

  2. I am loving there themed weeks. I am definitely looking forward to sweets week and when I saw the ad of them lifting the mystery boxes and all those lollies came out I can’t wait to see what they create with them.
    The breakfast cereal one is another one that will be interesting to see.

    1. I’m loving these themed week as well but I feel like I need a break now – just one free week, where we might not know what type of food they will be cooking and that contestants are given free range will give audiences a little rest as we see contestant’s cooking with not as many barriers…

  3. I put on a kilo just looking at the promo! Those lollies going everywhere as they lift the mystery boxes took me straight back to my childhood.
