Ciaooo is a Neapolitan pizzeria in Manchester's Northern Quarter, but its most famous order isn't a pizza. The Wheelbarrow Challenge is exactly what it sounds like: an actual wheelbarrow filled to the brim with tiramisu, set down in front of a team of two. Layer after layer of coffee-soaked sponge and mascarpone, and just 30 minutes to see the bottom of the barrow. It's rich, it's sweet and it gets harder with every spoonful.

What you'll be eating

A full wheelbarrow of tiramisu, shared between two people.

What you win

Clear the barrow and the £150 challenge is free. You'll both get a T-shirt to prove you survived, plus a free meal for two.

Strategy tips

This is a two-person challenge, so pick a partner with a sweet tooth and split the barrow evenly from the start. The coffee and cream get heavy fast, so keep the pace steady rather than starting with a sprint.
