A Grand Prize Dessert

“Dessert should be playful, joyful, and surprising,” says Pastry Chef Abigail Black of Henrietta Red, the Grand Prize Winner of our Sweet & Savory Challenge with Star Chefs. Her Basil Yuzu Lychee Ice Cream Cake reflects that philosophy, celebrating natural color, bright acidity, and playful texture. The dessert transforms purple basil and yuzu into a vivid neon-pink frozen yogurt, layered with marshmallow-soft lychee ice cream.

 

“I’m drawn to desserts that feel playful and surprising, using natural ingredients to create vivid color, bright acidity, and a sense of joy on the plate.”
