Create sundae ideas

Let guests customize their own sundaes or use AI to generate sundae menus and combinations. Generative AI tools suggest unique sundae ideas based on the season, event theme, or desired toppings. For example, learn which toppings to get at the grocery store or create a unique sundae menu to display at your ice cream topping bar with AI. Use these example prompts to try it out:

• I’m throwing an ice cream social this weekend. Which toppings complement each other in a traditional sundae?
• I’m hosting an ice cream social next week. Create a grocery shopping list complete with topping and mix-ins for the perfect sundaes.

Generate ice cream flavors and combinations

In addition to toppings, choosing your base ice cream combination lays the foundation for a good sundae or cone. Generative AI creates unique combinations based on flavor profiles and personal preferences. In addition, it generates DIY ice cream recipes, suggesting fun ideas like sour gummy or lavender flavors. Use these example prompts or make your own to create memorable ice cream dishes and combos:

• What are some unique ice cream and topping pairings for a summer ice cream social?
