Golden Banana
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. "

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."
