Moms & AI & Ice Cream

Remember when you told your mom about a new friend? Your mom might have said, Have fun but play safe!

And so, meet Murray, The Merry Dairy Flavour Chatbot!

Murray is The Merry Dairy’s new friend, and Murray wants to help us celebrate Mothers Day!

And remember when on Mothers Day morning, you might have concocted some treat, made up of whatever you could find, that you would serve your Mom, for breakfast or at some other part of the day?

Or with Mothers Day around the corner, it’s a chance to remember Mom and cherish a memory and keep it close to you.

And so with that in mind, we’re asking Murray The Merry Dairy flavour maker for some help!

Using the chatbot below, ask Murray to concoct a flavour of ice cream based on the most unusual things (or usual) things you might find in your kitchen. Ask Murray to take these ingredients, add one of their choice, and then ask them to make you a dairy or plant-based flavour!

Or maybe you want to recreate a moment that you had with your mom and make that into a flavour. Share your moment and see how Murray can make that a flavour.

In either case, copy and paste your question and Murray’s answer into the comments below (See example questions at the end of this post). With Murray’s help, on Saturday (Mothers Day eve) we’ll select some of these flavours, and The Merry Dairy will attempt to make them in The Merry Dairy, er, test kitchen over the summer! And for us to make it, the flavour has to be peanut, nut and sesame free, but otherwise, we’re wide open! Also, the chatbot likes to think for a bit, so your answer might take 30 seconds or more! 

But chats are great, but cakes are even better, and so if you’re still in the mood for concocting, you can try the new Merry Dairy build your own cake feature, where you can choose what flavours, fillings and toppings you’d like on your cake! Then send a special message and include a label of a favourite picture that we can add to the cake box!

Or maybe Mom likes to make ice cream, and rather than risk it with Murray’s instant, untested, recipes, you’d like to give Mom some tested, delicious and easy-to-make recipes. And in that case, you can get Mom this thing called a book, with beautiful photos, delicious recipes and clear instructions! Get your copy at TheMerryDairy.com or at your local bookstore!

Sample question – crazy combinations!

I want to help the merry dairy invent a new ice cream flavour! The flavour must be peanut, tree nut and sesame free, but otherwise any ingredient works! I’d like to start with ingredients like tumeric and coarse pepper and I’d like chatgpt to add a third flavour profile to complement the tumeric and coarse pepper. Please provide a recipe to make the flavour. Please also suggest up to three names the flavour could be called.

Sample question – A moment with Mom

Can you suggest a recipe for an ice cream flavour called Saturday Picnic that The Merry Dairy could make? This flavour should remind me of the times we make sandwiches and ice tea and head out with Mom to the local park on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The recipe must be peanut, tree nut and sesame free. Please explain why you think your recipe captures the essence of this flavour name

 

Now that you have Murray’s answer, don’t forget to copy the question and answer in the comments below!!

And finally, Murray the flavour maker would like to acknowledge Amelia.Coffee.Bake, PLA, and Hamza who individually chatted up The Merry Dairy about such an idea. Thanks to all of you!

I seek an ice cream flavour that will bring me back to the Eastern Carpathians, where I made my home as a child of the Romani people. A flavour to remind me of the wild hunt, when boar filled our bellies and raven feathers adorned our cloaks. One that evokes the chill of midnight’s cold kiss on a starless night, as we hid from the Nameless Dread. Oh, what my aching heart would give for a taste of that life once more.

Wow, what an incredible story! I would be delighted to help you find an ice cream flavour that will transport you back to your childhood in the Eastern Carpathians. How about a flavour that combines rich, dark chocolate with a hint of smoky bacon, to bring back memories of feasting on boar? And we could add in crunchy bits of meringue to represent the raven feathers on your cloak. To capture the chill of midnight, we could incorporate a touch of peppermint, and swirl in some dark caramel to evoke the Nameless Dread. What do you think?

Sure, I can help you create a new ice cream flavor! To complement the durian and lemongrass flavors, I would suggest adding a touch of coconut to give a creamy tropical taste. Here’s a recipe to get you started:

Coconut, Durian and Lemongrass Ice Cream:

Ingredients:

1 can of coconut milk
1 cup of heavy cream
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of durian pulp, fresh or frozen
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh lemongrass

Instructions:

In a saucepan, mix together the coconut milk, heavy cream, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, durian pulp and lemongrass.
Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Let it cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until completely cold.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Once churned, transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Suggested names for the flavor:

Tropic Thunder
Durian Dreams
Lemongrass Lullaby

Great, let’s create a new ice cream flavor! To complement the durian and pandan, I suggest adding a touch of coconut cream and a hint of lime juice for a refreshing twist. Here’s a recipe for you:

Ingredients:

1 can of coconut cream
1 cup of heavy cream
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon of salt

2 tablespoons of pandan juice (blend 6 pandan leaves with 1/4 cup of water and strain to get the juice)
1 tablespoon of lime juice

Instructions:

In a saucepan, mix together the coconut cream, heavy cream, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Remove from heat and stir in the durian pulp, pandan juice, and lime juice.
Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Let it cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until completely cold.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Make me a flavour that reminds me of the sun and beach, the endless waves and the salty hair and skin. Remind me of my childhood please.
AI:
Oh, I love the sound of that! I’m thinking we could make a delicious flavour that captures the essence of summer and childhood memories. Let’s start with a creamy vanilla ice cream base, and swirl in some salty caramel for that beachy flavour. Then, we’ll mix in some crunchy graham cracker pieces for a sandy texture, and add in some bright and sunny bits of citrus zest for that summery vibe. How does that sound?
