Chef Buddha: "My picnics always include fruit, so I did a golden banana based on the flavours of a banoffee pie. So it's actually stuffed with a creme diplomate, honey roasted bananas, and dipped in white chocolate. And on the outside, a little bit of biscuit crumble. "

Judging - by Top Chef ™ judge Padma Lakshi and Graham Hornigold. Also Harriet Mansell, head chef Stu Deeley, executive pastry chef Roger Pizey, and author Max Halley.

Gail Simmons: "It was rich and sweet, but I thought it was a beautiful, thoughtful dessert. Very well made."

"For me, Chef Buddha's banana. Great to look at. Not great to eat. Too sweet."

Padma Lakshi: "And, of course, Buddha, I loved your dessert. Really creative, a lot of work."

Graham Hornigold: "Really elevated to create that in 90 minutes. I'm going to ask you how you did that another day."

Tom Colicchio: "Maybe a little on the sweet side, but nice job all the way around."
