Thank you Lennox Malaysia and The Butterfly Project for having me and this is definitely my pleasure to be able to join this Lennox baking workshop with their Collagen month. In this post, I will be sharing my experience with ABC Cooking Studio using the Lennox Collagen 5000 Powder. Also, I will be sharing a super easy Soufflé recipe with you guys. So keep reading. :)

To improve the look and overall health of the skin, people start to look for collagen supplements and it is true that taking collagen can collagen supplements can help t0 reduce the effects of ageing, such as by adding moisture to the skin, reducing wrinkles, and improving elasticity.

Here I am with Zi Hang, who I know during the workshop. Can you believe that she is already a mom? I wonder how she keeps her beauty and looks young all the time. The secret must be somewhere in this post. 😏😏
Me with my table mates. The whole process of baking is super fun and our instructor is very nice and patience. He made sure all of us know what we are doing and explain to us why we have to do so, instead of the other way so that we can avoid the mistakes that most people usually did.
Have you thought of adding collagen in dessert?
Anyway, you can add Collagen 5000 Powder in any food/drinks that you want to enhance the nutrition of the dish. Since the collagen powder is specially designed to be easily mixed with other ingredients, it is possible to add it in the dessert!
ABC Cooking Studio is so creative that they have come out with a special recipe, adding the Lennox Collagen 5000 Powder into the recipe. Yeap, we are going to make our own Berry Soufflé Cheese, but it is not your usual Soufflé, as it is the "boink boink" Soufflé that will make your skin "boink boink". 😍
Sharing the secret recipe of the Berry Soufflé Cheese with you guys. Don't say I don't share ah! 😆
Here is all you will need to make a delicious, moist and soft Berry Soufflé Cheese. To be honest, the ingredients that you have to prepare are pretty easy and can be seen in the convenient store or baking supply store.
Souffle cheesecake
First, mix the egg white with hand mixer. Then whisk until egg white clings to the blades of the hand before adding half of the sugar.
In the second picture, you can see that the egg white has reached its soft peaks form.
Add the remaining sugar and whisk till stiff peaks form, as shown as the third and forth picture.
When it has reached its peak form, it will actually hold on the bowl and nothing will actually leak from the bowl itself. Amazing huh? 😀
In another bowl, place cream cheese in it and whisk until creamy with a hand mixer.
Then, add sugar and mix well.
After that, pour in egg yolk in 2 additions and mix well each time.
Add milk and vanilla essence in 2 additions, mix well each time. Then add lemon juice and mix well.
Proud mama with her baby 😆
Berry Cheese Cream
While waiting for the souffle cheesecake to be done, let's start making the berry cheese cream.
1. Place cream cheese in a bowl and whisk until creamy with hand mixer.
2. Add strawberry powder and sugar.
3. Mix well.
4. Add Lennox collagen into the mixture and mix well.
Add lemon juice and mix well.
Add whipping cream in 2 -3 additions.
Mix well each time.
Transfer into a piping bag once it is 80% stiff.
By the time you are done with the berry cheese cream, you will still have some time to clean the table and wait for the souffle to cool down.
Cut the tip of the piping bag with berry cheese cream and pipe on top of the souffle cake.
Top with raspberry and blueberry and garnish the souffle with pistachio.
And you're done!

Since this is my first time taking Lennox Firm Up+ collagen drink, I took 1 bottle daily at night for 10 days then 1 bottle every 2-3 days at night as suggested. TBH, there is not much difference can be seen in just 2 days but I personally feel that after drinking the collagen, my face is brighter than before.

I had a wonderful weekend, all thanks to The Butterfly Project and Lennox Malaysia for organising this Lennox Baking Workshop at ABC Cooking Studio. It is always good to start early to take care of your skin before it turns saggy and old. HAHA.
Any, I received a box of the FirmUp+ (Bright) Collagen Drinks and some Collagen 5000 Powder for me to try and let me tell you what I think about it.
What I think about the Firm Up+ (Bright) Collagen Drink
For the taste, I really love it because it has a strong grapes taste which is very delicious. It has a hint of souvery taste but not too much
As shown in the picture, you have to mix the powder that is provided into the bottle and shake it well before you drink it. The powder doesn't taste very good but surprisingly, it doesn't affect much to the drink. This is definitely a plus point because not every stuff that is good to your body taste bad. Unlike what the Chinese always say 良药苦口, meaning "good medicines often taste bitter", even though it is collagen and not medicine. HAHA
Left picture is taken in Day1, while the right one is taken on Day2 at the same spot after drinking the collagen. Since this is my first time taking Lennox Firm Up+ collagen drink, I took 1 bottle daily at night for 10 days then 1 bottle every 2-3 days at night as suggested. TBH, there is not much difference can be seen in just 2 days but I personally feel that after drinking the collagen, my face is brighter than before.
Result after taking the collagen drink for 10 days.
Left is taken in Day 1 and right is taken in Day10 at the same spot, at night. I used the same Iphone camera to take it, without any filter. As you can see, my skin tone is more on the dull and yellowish side, but it looks brighter on the left.
Dark circle is still pretty obvious cause of late sleep. Have been sleeping at 1-2am and waking up at 7am this few days. After drinking the collagen for 10 days, I feel that my skin complexion become better. However, I don't think it helps in acne skin and bumps.
Left is taken in Day 1 and right is taken in Day10 at the same spot, almost the same angle. It is obvious that the acne scar in my face has lightened but my acnes are still visible. The face is a bit glower but not too much. Hopefully consistent in consuming the collagen can result in an even better complexion of the skin. But first, I need to sleep early. :P
This photo was taken indoor.
I do feel that it does improve my makeup application because my face is hydrated and "boink boink".
This photo was taken outdoor with better lighting and all.
Thought that my makeup will cake or melt like ice cream, but surprisingly it stayed all day.
*phiuh* xD
What do you think? Does my skin look better than before? Or just like before?
Comment down below and let me know. :)
