Competition | Afternoon Express Dessert-Off

I love dessert and love the fact that one can spend hours making various components for delicious monstrosities or just quickly whip something together for those unexpected dinners. Something sweet is just what you need to end off a gathering on the right note. No matter how long it took you to make.

In celebration of all things sweet – I have a ridiculously indulgent Lindt Chocolate hamper to giveaway to one lucky reader. All you need to do is watch the Afternoon Express Show and leave a comment below telling me what the secret ingredient was that Ming and I used in our desserts! This competition is CLOSED.
