Tweet

Lily's Peanut Butterrific University Fun Day makes super fun last Sunday with the most popular teen heartthrob Daniel Padilla.

Over the past 60 years, Lily’s Peanut Butter has grown to be a traditional staple of Filipino households.After many years of product excellence, the brand launched a huge campaign last year that brought the mother-and-son tandem of Daniel Padilla and Karla Estrada as endorsers.

The campaign is all about the bond people share whenever they experience a love nawalangkatulad. A love that will make you say, “Ikawlangtalaga."

This 2015, Lily’s goes all out anew with its Lily's Peanut Butterrific University Fun Day. This event was held last February 22, 2015 from 11am to 7pm at the Market Market Activity Center.

It was truly an exciting day as there were interactive booths and fun-filled activities which entertained the crowd audience. Along with this was the successful Cook Off with 2 celebrity chefs, Boy Logro and Victor Neri,which got everyone excited as the five (5) schools battled it out in two (2) rounds of cooking. They came up with original savoury and sweet dishes using any of the Lily's products. Grand prize winners and other participants enjoyed cash and gift prizes.

The highlight of the day was the Meet and Greet with Daniel Padilla in the late afternoon. The whole Market Market Activity Center fill with crowds loud cheers and screams for the popular star Daniel.

 

The film “Crazy Beautiful You” with Kathryn Bernardo opens in theaters nationwide this Wednesday, Feb. 25.

Daniel is also nominated in the upcoming Nickelodeon Teen Choice Awards under the Favorite Asian Act Category.

Lily’s Peanut butter,  the pioneering name in the industry that has become synonymous with taste and quality and made with all-natural ingredients. It has a distinct sweet-creamy taste well-loved by Filipinos. With such, it has evolved from more than just a bread spread to a key ingredient in many dishes. Yes, many dishes because Lily’s Peanut Butter goes well not just with the usual Kare-Kare but also with the likes of a Pan Grilled Deboned Chicken with Lily’s Peanut Butter Chutney, as shown in the cooking demo! The list can go from appetizers, main dishes, desserts to drinks and this is why everyone agrees, that the brand is like no other…“Ikaw lang talaga, Lily’s.”

Lily’s Peanut Butter brings you these holiday goodies ! Get into the holiday mood with these recipes from the kitchen of Lily’s Peanut Butter to yours. Wrap the peanut butter polvoron and Lily’s cupcakes as gifts to family and friends. Then settle down with a mug of Lily’s hot chocolate for something comforting during this frosty season.

Peanut Butter Polvoron

Homemade holiday goodies make for great gifts, like these classic polvoron spiked with Lily’s Peanut Butter. Wrap them in red and white Japanese papers in keeping with the season. Makes about 16 polvoron.

1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted

1/2 cup full-cream milk powder

1/2 cup granulated white sugar

1/4 cup plain and toasted peanuts, chopped finely

1/2 cup butter, softened but not melted

1/4 cup Lily’s Peanut Butter, stirred well

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the wrapper

Polvoron molder (available at supermarkets)

Japanese paper in festive colors, cut into 4-inch squares, or

Food-safe colored cellophane wrappers, cut into 4-inch squares, or

Mini cupcake liners (if you want to serve the polvoron immediately)

1.    Toast the flour in a non-stick pan over medium heat, about 20 minutes. Keep stirring the flour every so often so it will have a uniform, very lightly brown color.

2.    Remove toasted flour from the pan and transfer into a mixing bowl. Cool completely.

3.    Add the milk powder, sugar, and chopped nuts. Mix thoroughly using a spatula or fork.

4.    Add the softened butter, peanut butter and vanilla to the flour-milk-sugar mixture. Mix until blended.

5.    Prepare your polvoron wrappers and place them right next to your assembly station so you can efficiently wrap the polvoron after molding to avoid any crumbling.

6.    Fill the polvoron molder with the mixture, making sure that it’s firmly packed by flattening it on a flat surface (like a plate or plastic container).

7.    Push the handle of the molder and gently release the polvoron on top of the wrapper. Close the wrapper (or when using cupcake liners, arrange them on a platter).

Lily’s Cupcakes with Peanut 

Cinnamon Buttercream

These cupcakes will cheer up the kids (or Santa himself!) as they make their countdown to the twelve days of Christmas. It has a yellow cupcake base with chopped peanuts for crunch. Yummy buttercream whisked with Lily’s Peanut Butter and cinnamon crowns each piece. Makes a dozen cupcakes.

For the cupcakes:

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup salted butter, at room temperature

3/4 cup granulated white sugar

1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk, at room temperature

3/4 cup plain, toasted peanuts, coarsely chopped

12 paper liners

12-cup cupcake pan

For the peanut cinnamon buttercream:

1/2 cup salted butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup Lily’s Peanut Butter (170 grams), stirred well

1 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar, sifted if lumpy

1/4 cup all-purpose cream, chilled

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder

Candy-coated chocolate or chocolate chips, to garnish

To make the cupcakes:

1.    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2.    In a bowl, mix the flour and baking powder together using a wire whisk or fork until well combined. Set aside.

3.    In a large mixing bowl, cut the butter into small pieces and beat until creamy using a wooden spoon or spatula for two minutes. Add the sugar half at a time and beat until consistency is light and fluffy.

4.    Beat in vanilla extract then add the eggs, one at a time. Add the flour mixture and the milk alternately, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat after each addition. The batter should be smooth and lump free. Stir in the chopped peanuts.

5.    Arrange the paper liners on the cups of the cupcake pan. Pour the batter generously but equally on each cup. Bake for 18 minutes. Test the cupcake by inserting a toothpick at the center. It should be clean or have just a few moist crumbs when you lift toothpick. The cupcake will have a rounded top.

6.    Cool the pan for 5 minutes before transferring each of the cupcakes to a cooling rack. Cool completely before frosting with the buttercream.

To make the buttercream:

1.    In a bowl, beat together the butter and peanut butter using an electric mixer at medium speed for about one to two minutes.

2.    Add the confectioner’s sugar and beat until just combined. Pour the cream and vanilla then beat at high speed for three minutes until the mixture is lighter in color and fluffy in consistency. Stir in the cinnamon.

3.     Spread or frost the buttercream immediately on top of the cupcakes. For variation: you can also split the cupcake in the middle and fill it with the buttercream. Return the top of the cupcake and frost, if desired.

4.    Arrange some candy-coated chocolates or chocolate chips on top of the frosting for a more festive look.

Baker’s notes:

·      Store the cupcakes in an airtight plastic container at room temperature (not in the refrigerator, which will dry them out) for 2 days. You can also freeze them (without the buttercream) for one week. Just make the buttercream on the day you’re serving the cupcakes.

·      Store any leftover buttercream in an airtight container in the freezer up to 2 days. Make sure to wrap it well so it doesn’t absorb any smells from the other food in the fridge. Re-beat before using.

4 tablespoons Lily’s Peanut Butter

1 cup all-purpose cream, chilled

For the hot chocolate:

2 cups milk

1/2 cup water

1/8 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup cocoa powder

Lily’s Peanut Butter: From savory dishes to desserts

Tweet

Lily’s Peanut Butter as the Filipinos’ spread of choice for a wide variety of breads has been established for decades now. Aside from its popularity as a staple of breakfast and merienda, Lily’s Peanut Butter is also a preferred ingredient by moms and chefs alike in their creations of fantastic recipes—from soups to appetizers to savory dishes to desserts.

One of the main reasons why they have made Lily's Peanut Butter part of their kitchen arsenal is that the iconic Filipino brand, which is made by Newborn Food Products, has maintained its classic, highly-guarded recipe and use of premium ingredients to ensure quality of product and taste that generations of Filipinos have loved.

“By staying true to the original recipe and raw materials,” says Ramon Pua, president and CEO of Newborn Food Products, “we have never felt the need to add extenders, preservatives, emulsifiers and other chemical agents in our product. We only use two main ingredients: high quality peanuts and cane sugar.”

The medley of peanuts and cane sugar produces a rich, even consistency that blends well with other ingredients. Lily’s Peanut Butter is the top-of-mind choice for sumptuous desserts that include Peanut Butter Cookies, Peanut Butter Cupcakes, Peanut Butter Cheesecake and yes, even Peanut Butter Ice Cream. Fruits—such as bananas, strawberries, melons—can be dipped in Lily’s Peanut Butter for an instant perk-me-up.

Lily’s Peanut Butter is also used as the main component of savory dishes. The most evident example is, of course, the Filipino favorite kare-kare that is improved by Lily’s Peanut Butter full-bodied, nutty flavor. Same with peanut sauce, which is the usual dip for skewered meats popular with Asian cuisines. Other dishes that are fully expressed with a helping of Lily’s Peanut Butter include Roast Peanut Butter Chicken, Peanut Butter Sweer Potato Soup and Chilled Sesame Peanut Noodles, among others.

Aside from its taste and consistency, another hallmark of Lily’s Peanut Butter is that it is produced with only the highest international standards. Newborn Food Products only uses machines in the preparation, cooking and packaging of Lily’s Peanut Butter, eliminating human contact. Safety and sanitation are the foremost considerations. “There’s no history of any of our products being recalled due to charges of contamination,” Pua says. “We are really proud of that.”

On his 15th year as CEO and president of the company, Pua is ready to spread the health-nourishing goodness of Lily’s Peanut Butter to the world: a global brand with a distinct Filipino flavor and identity. Though the product is already present abroad, mainly in Filipino communities in United States, Canada, Middle East and Hong Kong, Pua envisions of greatly expanding the product’s reach to other countries and hopefully capturing the palate of the international market.

“We are truly excited about the future,” says Pua. “Lily’s Peanut Butter is reaching new markets and touching base with a wide spectrum of consumers while keeping its Filipino identity. As people make healthier lifestyle choices in what they eat and use our product not just a spread but an ingredient in a variety of recipes, Lily’s will continue to dominate the market with a flavor that has remained consistent through the years.”
