Challenge #3 is all about one thing: taste. 🍽️⚡

For this assignment, finalists must capture Antwerp’s non-stop energy by creating a dessert that literally moves. We’re talking live transformations: melting layers, temperature contrasts, and shifting textures right on the plate.
What's more? Our chefs have to combine local artisan ingredients from back home with Belgian Callebaut chocolate.

Welcome to Challenge #3: Taste. 🍽️⚡

How do you capture motion on a single plate? Inspired by Antwerp’s city in constant movement, finalists must create a pastry that evolves right in front of you. Through melting, temperature contrasts, or changing textures. The twist? Integrating a local artisan ingredient from home with Belgian Callebaut chocolate, with zero presentation to the jury. The plate does all the talking.

Up to 30 kilos of 100% pure chocolate built on a single metal base frame. Zero internal supports, zero shortcuts. Just pure structural mastery and craftsmanship.
