RULES

WHAT COUNTS AS A DESSERT?

Any sweet treat that could be eaten after a meal. It does not have to be served in a dish. Crème brûlées, Churros, S'mores, Mochi, and Banana Splits all count as a dessert.

WHAT COUNTS AS A NEW DESSERT?

Great desserts like Tiramisu, Banoffee Pie or Apple Crumble are often simple combinations of existing ingredients. These are allowed.

Not allowed: new flavours of an existing format (for example, a pineapple cheesecake), or a minor tweak of an existing item (for example, ice cream with toffee sauce).
