Flavour Descriptions

This is a picture of four scoops of ice cream and is used to illustrate all the wonderful and fun flavours avialable each week at The Merry Dairy!

A tower of cone power!

Every week is an opportunity to make new and fun dairy and vegan flavours! Wondering what they are like? Scroll down for a list of our flavours and their descriptions:

Not all the flavours below are on offer on any given day! You can see our daily pints selection here and our daily scoops on our homepage! Sometimes these flavours sell out … If a flavour we’re scooping isn’t available in pints online, we can always hand-pack a pint when you visit 102 Fairmont!. Questions? Email info@themerrydairy.com! 🙂

Blueberry Lemon (GF/SF)

The blueberries are from Canada. The lemons, which are from outside Canada, are fresh-squeezed at 102 Fairmont and gently added to join the blueberries in our premium ice cream base, where it becomes Blueberry Lemon! This flavour is sweet, smooth, and of course lemony! (GF, SF)

 

Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake (GF/SF)

Like it should star on its own episode of Cawfee Tawk, this ice cream blends cherries into a scrumptious chocolate cheesecake base to make you want to have that cup of coffee with this slice, er, scoop of chocolate cherry cheesecake!

Earl Grey & Shortbread (GF/SF)

Like a tea party in a pint, it’s Sloane’s finest Earl Grey tea, steeped, and included in our dairy base along with our very own gluten-free shortbread. Taken together, it’s a lovely, crunchy combination that makes any afternoon (or evening) a little merrier!

Malted Milk Chocolate & Mini-Eggs

Like its cousin Mini-Eggs, Malted Milk Chocolate Mini-Eggs brings together many many mini-eggs, but says, hey, let’s reach out to the malted chocolate set, and add in some malted milk and chocolate to the base. In fact, it’s a page out of our Great Scoops recipe book! In scoops or hand-packed pints only 🙂

 

 

 

 

Mango Sorbet (V/GF/SF)

The delectable Alphonso & Kesar mangoes. Sweet, juicy and bonkers tasty. Hand peeled & pureed at 102 Fairmont, they are then made into a simply scrumptious sorbet. In scoops at 102 Fairmont only due to its limited, small-batch, it’s a summer scoop that delights the senses.

Ottawa Valley Maple (GF/SF)

If only we had our own stand of sugar maples in the Merry Dairy parking lot, we’d be heading out back to tap the trees and being the run of the saps! Luckily, we have Lanark County’s Coutts rich, dark maple syrup to blend into our premium base and start the spring melt with a frozen treat.

Tiramisu (SF)

 

They’re called ladyfingers and when they’re dipped in coffee and mixed with cream, they become tiramisu. A fun word to say, even more fun to scoop, this dessert in a cone is an instant classic!

 

 

 

 

Toasted Coconut (GF/SF)

Imagine a warm summer beach, with coconut trees swaying as the waves transport you to shores of 102 Fairmont where a pint of fresh coconut ice cream awaits. This flavour has toasted coconut flakes mixed into a super premium vanilla-coconut base. (GF, SF)
