MasterChef Australia and Coles are offering fans the chance to take home two winning dishes made in the MasterChef kitchen.
During Aussie Classics week, celebrity chef Curtis Stone presented contestants with a Mystery Box challenge to create their own epic version of either a pie or ice cream.
Hannah Johnson’s Cheeseburger Pie served with potato chips and Pat McGarry’s Salted Caramel & Bickie Crumble Ice Cream plated up with apple pie, didn’t just win them immunity from elimination, they won them a place in selected Coles stores across Australia.
Hannah Johnson said: “It feels pretty amazing to have won this challenge and to have a product that I created on the shelves of Coles. I’m excited to actually see it in there, I think that’s when it’ll really hit me. I hope my kids like it just as much as the judges did!”
Pat McGarry said: “It feels completely surreal for my ice cream to be on the shelves at Coles. To think that my family, friends and even strangers will be seeing my face on the tubs of ice cream, boggles my mind! I cannot wait to take my little Frankie in store for her to see.”
Tamar Hovagimian, Director of National Advertising Partnerships, Paramount Australia, said: “The partnership between Coles and MasterChef Australia continues to set the benchmark for sponsorships in the market.
“After 18 seasons, we wanted to up the ante and offer consumers a complete meal experience direct from the MasterChef kitchen – Hannah’s Pie and Pat’s Ice Cream. We’re so excited for Australia to be able to share these flavours with their family and friends at home thanks to Coles.”
Coles head of sponsorships and events Carmel Horvath said: “Last season’s limited-edition MasterChef ice-cream sold out in just three days, so we’re excited to bring not one, but two winning creations from the MasterChef kitchen to our freezer aisle.
“Hannah’s Cheeseburger Pie and Pat’s Salted Caramel & Bickie Crumble Ice Cream are packed with flavour and fun, and we can’t wait for customers to try them for themselves.
“It’s a great way for Australians to recreate a little bit of the MasterChef experience at home.”
Endemol Shine Australia director of content Marty Benson said: “We’re very proud to have partnered with Coles again on this now iconic challenge, bringing a taste of MasterChef to life on tables around the country.
“Now in its fourth year, seeing two contestants have the honour and thrill of having their products on shelves at Coles doubles the joy, and we just love that Aussie families can have dinner and dessert sorted in an instant thanks to the Hannah and Pat, direct from the MasterChef kitchen.”
