Milk Chocolate Custard with Chocolate "Dirt" and Caramelized Parsnips
Tristen (planning): "I don't mind doing a vegetable for dessert. Chocolate custard. I'm still coming up with the veg. Probably parsnips."
Presenting to Judges: "Just for a little bit of decadence ... on the bottom, this is a chocolate custard. On top is dirt chocolate, as I call it, parsnip caramelized with some sherry vinegar for a touch of acidity and to bring that vegetable forward. Please enjoy."
Judges: "I really enjoyed Tristan's dessert. It's very rich, very decadent."
"The parsnip adds, like, a little bit of sweetness, but it tastes very balanced."
"I think it's a great way to end the meal."
Judges Table
"You also had the desserts."
Tristen: "I did."
Judge: "It didn't feel like just such rich chocolate pudding. The texture is beautiful, but the sherry vinegar was like the shining star for me."
