@LancewoodCheese #EmojiMeals A Piece of Cake for #Foodie Celebs #SouthAfrica

Hi Guys,

If there are two things most South Africans love, it’s a braai, and cheese. The two came together in drool-worthy style on Instagram feeds across the country as foodie celebs got creative with the LANCEWOOD® Emoji Meals Challenge.

The challenge was set by LANCEWOOD®, the number one cream cheese brand in SA*, in celebration of their season-long support of theUltimate Braai Master. Vying for the title of Challenge champion were famous foodies Lorna Maseko (Top Billing and The Hostesspresenter), Sam Linsell (food stylist, photographer and owner of the Drizzle and Dip blog), Kamini Pather (Master Chef SA winner 2013 and host of Girl Eats World) and Lucia Mthiyane (food expert and chef). Their task was to create swoon-worthy recipes inspired by, and most closely resembling either the burger, cake, doughnut, pizza or spaghetti food Emoji, featuring a LANCEWOOD® product.

Lucia Mthiyane was crowned the winner by judge, Zola Nene, the famous food goddess from Expresso Show, who put her stamp of approval on Lucia’s lip-smacking cheesecake – the perfect post braai delight.

Lucia’s Cheesecake
Ingredients:
10 biscuits of your choice
2 tablespoons butter
2 tubs of LANCEWOOD® Medium Fat Plan Cream Cheese
2 eggs
250ml condensed milk
500g white fondant
Juice of 1 medium lemon
250g castor sugar

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 200˚C.
2. Combine biscuit crumbs, sugar and butter; press firmly on bottom of 9-inch springform pan.
3. In a large bowl, beat eggs, castor sugar, lemon juice and cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in condensed milk until smooth.
4. Pour the mixture into the springform pan over the biscuit mixture.
5. Bake at 160˚C for 50 to 55 minutes or until the centre is set.
6. Set aside to cool.
7. Roll out the fondant and cover the cake.
8. Use white and yellow fondant to make three candles with flames.
9. Finish by placing fresh strawberries on top.

The Challenge was inspired by the Emoji Meals offering on LANCEWOOD®’s Facebook page, which involved an interactive Bot enhancing viewers’ Ultimate Braai Master experience. By sending a food Emoji to LANCEWOOD®’s Facebook page via private message, the Bot instantly responds with a recipe or tip related to it. For example, sending a potato emoji would get you a recipe for LANCEWOOD’ Sour Cream baked potatoes – hot out of the oven or fresh off the coals – with LANCEWOOD® Jalapeño Chutney Dip & Top for added flavour.

“We wanted to take our Emoji Meals offering to another level and hand-picked our favourite foodie influencers to cook up a storm. Ultimately, Lucia came out tops by whipping up a mouth-watering cheesecake that ticked all the boxes of a LANCEWOOD® culinary creation,” says Shereen Anderhold, Marketing Manager at LANCEWOOD®.
