The episode of Masterchef Italy 15 on Thursday 29 January 2026 opened in a different way than usual. The 11 remaining competitors found a black apron under the Mystery Boxes and thus had to face a completely unexpected Pressure Test. To complicate the situation even more was the arrival of Iginio Massari and his daughter Debora, for a pastry pressure test.
Antonino Cannavacciuolo, Bruno Barbieri and Giorgio Locatelli they played a bad trick on aspiring chefs who found themselves having to redo a cake Saint Honoré Milanese stylewith three layers of sponge cake, three of Italian Chantilly cream with caramel cream puffs on top, alternating with tufts of chocolate and Chantilly cream.
At the end of two hours and 30 minutes of work, the worst desserts were those of Iolanda and Dorella, the two friend-enemies who teased each other throughout the edition. The judges determined that she made the more serious mistake of the two Yolanda given that his cake featured undercooked cream and maestro Massari reminded us that raw eggs can be dangerous for your health. Iolanda was therefore the first eliminated.
