“Sweet Queen” Jess Liemantara made her shocking exit from the MasterChef: All Stars kitchen on Sunday night, despite impressing the judges with a daring chocolate, licorice ice-cream.
In a two-round elimination challenge, contestants first tried to hit the judges’ sweet spot with ice cream dishes.
The brief was a dish of two different flavoured ice-creams that only work when they are eaten together.
While Jess’ “velvety” chocolate and licorice ice cream left the judges screaming for more, her basil ice-cream landed her in the second round.
“Great on paper, but I feel like it just needed to be a little bit more pronounced on the plate,” said Mel.

The first challenge saw Brendan, Jess, Callum, Simon and Poh fall short of the brief, forced to work with some wacky flavour combinations chosen by the judges in the second round.
Contestants had an hour to make a dish that “tames these wild pairs”, turning them into something delicious while keeping the flavour pairings front and centre.
Saddled with carrots and raspberries – a combo that Jock instantly deemed “the most difficult pairing” – Jess stuck to what she knows best: desserts.
Opting for a shiraz berry sorbet, with a chocolate mousse and some carrot gels, Jess took a risk and hoped it would pay off.
“The red wine in the raspberry sorbet is super strong,” said Jock after tasting the dessert.
“It was actually quite unpleasant for me.”
Mel also noted that the carrot and the raspberry were meant to be the key flavours in the dish, but “didn’t stand out like they should.”
Narrowing it down to Jess and Simon, the judges broke the news to a devastated Jess.
“While your concept was strong, the dish tasted more of red wine and orange than carrot and raspberry,” Jock explained.
At just 19 years old, Jess appeared in Season 10 of MasterChef in 2019, making top 5 that season.
Proving she’s the reigning Sweet Queen, she recently self-published her first cookbook, A Zest of Jess.
“I’m devastated that I only made it halfway into the competition, but I’m thankful for all of you guys,” she said tearfully. “And I’m going to miss you so much.”
“I am leaving sad, but I’m also leaving very thankful and grateful. I’ve done so much in my time and now, I feel like I’ve got more capabilities to go further in the industry and really make my dreams come true.”
MasterChef: All Stars continues Monday night from 7.30 on Channel 10.
