I'm not going to lie to you guys.
I don't really know which direction this is going.
It's interesting.
So before we started filming, my husband, Kevin, who knows a lot about AI
and actually did a course a few years ago at M.I.T., handed me my computer
and in it he had put a prompt in to Chat GPT
about what kind of a dessert I could make.
And what he said was create a dessert hybrid of a cookie brownie cheesecake
with chocolate and fruit that can be made from scratch in less than 30 minutes.
It instantly generated this recipe, and I'm just seeing it now for the first time.
I'm going to gather
all the ingredients and let's see, let's see what comes out the other end.
So here are the ingredients that the recipe called to get.
Cocoa powder, plain flour, powdered sugar, cream cheese,
softened butter, vanilla, chocolate chips, a raising agent, sugar
and an egg and some salt and then some raspberries.
So the first step as per the recipe, it says preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Fahrenheit, 180 degrees Celsius, which I did.
It also says line an eight by eight square pan with butter and parchment paper.
I also did that. Okay.
So it says in a medium bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients.
Flour, cocoa powder, salt
and baking powder.
Now, just off the bat I would say sift these ingredients.
For me personally, I always sift cocoa powder
because it has moisture in it and tends to be lumpy.
But I am following the recipe and what it says,
so I'm not going to make any judgment until the very end.
Then it says, set it over to the side
in a large bowl cream together our softened butter
and our granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
So I have my hand mixer here.
I'm sure you can also do this by hand.
It doesn't give that instruction.
So just so you have some context what we do for a BBB
recipe is a lot of research, A lot of recipe
testing, and recipe development takes days.
Sometimes we have to retest and retaste and it could take like weeks even,
it takes a long time.
And it kind of shocks me a little bit that you put a few prompts into
AI and, you know, instantly you get this recipe
and I'm going to reserve my opinion until the end,
but it does make me wonder, you know, is this the way of the future
where people are going to start to do this for recipes and just get what they want?
Are they going to still come to websites like mine where we put a lot of attention
and care into getting the perfect recipe right every time?
Also, I want to note no photography because they literally made up the recipe.
We spend a lot of time on photography.
So that is definitely something that I miss making this recipe,
is a picture of the final.
That’s nicely creamed.
Next line is add in your egg
and your vanilla extract.
So now it says gradually mix in the dry ingredients
until the dough comes together.
So we'll do that.
I might do this step by hand because I know myself
and that'll be easier just from experience.
This is a little bit hard to mix together.
It's kind of coming together now as a dough.
You can see that.
Maybe I should have kept on using the machine.
This dough is pretty firm to come together.
I thought it was going to be a cookie.
I'm kind of have a feeling it's more between a brownie and a cookie.
The dough is very stiff.
It's not like a a batter, like a brownie batter would be.
It's more like a dough.
So now I'm really curious how it's going to end up.
But anyway, into this stiff dough, I'm going to fold in my chocolate chips.
I'm not going to like you guys.
I don't really know which direction this is going.
I'm thinking it might be a really chocolaty cookie.
I'm not 100% sure.
They’re saying cookie, and I'm not so sure.
So anyway, let's move on to the next step. So here's my cream cheese.
It has been softened as per the recipes instructions.
Now what you want to do, it says just cream this together
with the powdered sugar.
I will say that normally a cream cheese layer, because that’s
what this is going to be by the looks of the recipe, is a cream cheese layer,
and it would have an egg in it.
It would have an egg in us to set it and make it more cheesecakey.
So I don't know what's going to happen when you just bake cream cheese
with a bit of sugar in it.
So we'll find out...we'll find out.
So just so
you know at home, there is a correct way to write a recipe.
And there’s kind of a wrong way too.
If there’s a correct way I suppose there's a wrong way.
And the recipe isn't written exactly how I would write it.
Normally standard for a recipe is the ingredients are listed
as they go into the recipe, as they're used in the recipe,
the ingredients aren’t mixed up and going in at different times.
So it makes it a little bit confusing when you're used to reading
recipes a certain way.
So now we're seeing the dessert come together a little bit better.
We're doing layers here, so we have our cookie
layer, our cream cheese layer, and then we have our raspberries.
So it says here in the recipe, oh my gosh, this is stiff.
Put half of the dough into the pan.
Now it's
saying do the cream cheese layer next.
Not a really thick cream cheese layer.
Then it says sprinkle over the raspberries.
I had frozen in my freezer. So this is what I'm using.
I'm sure it's totally fine.
So the last thing it says to do is to drop the cookie dough over the top
and like I said, it's really firm
and a bit sticky, so I'm going to try and flatten it out a little bit.
That's not really working.
And put it over as best I can.
If you can get it kind of spread out I'm guessing
as much over the raspberry as you can.
It saying cover the raspberries, but
I think the best chance I have is just kind of like dolloping it around.
So what we have here is kind of, I'm guessing like a cookie cheesecake slice.
Like, I think it's a nice idea. I like the sounds of it.
The combos are correct, cream cheese, raspberries, chocolate.
That all sounds good.
The only thing that I don't think AI can generate is knowing
how it's going to taste,
if the textures complement each other, if the texture is right.
And this could be a very dry, hard cookie, and if it is with soft raspberries
in the middle and cream cheese, that's not going to be great eating.
It could be a really like soft, moist brownie like cookie
and then it would be absolutely awesome and like, soft and delicious.
So I don't know yet, none of us know.
So let's get it into the oven and we'll find out soon enough.
So bake your raspberry cheesecake cookie layer raspberry cookie thing
at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, 180 degrees Celsius.
It says 18 to 20 minutes. I have to say I'm skeptical.
I think it's going to take longer, but we'll see.
So the 20 minute timer just went off.
And just as I predicted, it's not baked yet.
It's probably, I'd say ten, 15 minutes off.
The cheesecake layer isn't baked.
The cookie is kind of raw on top.
And unfortunately, it didn't spread out like I was hoping it would do.
So I'm going to put it back in, let's say another 10 minutes
and cross your fingers.
Okay.
Here we go.
I did have to bake this for 15 minutes extra
because I just felt like that timing was not right.
It looks it looks good. It smells good.
The cookies didn't really bake and melt
like I thought they would and kinda cover the top.
It's it's interesting.
It's interesting.
My one thing is I wonder when it actually goes like cold,
will those cookies get really hard and be actually quite difficult to eat?
But anyway, I'm going to cut it up and we can have a little look on the inside.
Look at that! Wow!
So I really do think it's a mix between a cookie and a brownie.
And then you have the lovely layer of cream cheese and the raspberry.
I'm going to put it on a plate now and get Kevin to come in for a taste test.
Okay.
So I think the burning question is, can AI generate a recipe that works
and is edible?
How did it do and how did you do?
Well, we're going to find out.
I taste brownie, I definitely taste the fruit.
So it was supposed to be a cookie
brownie cheesecake with chocolate and fruit.
Yeah.
This is a, this is when a brownie met a cookie.
So if that's what you put into the AI, this is exactly what that is.
It's a brownie cookie mashup.
I do, I have to say it is tasty. It tastes good.
Raspberry and chocolate.
Yes. Cream cheese and chocolate, yes.
Cream cheese and raspberries. Yes.
Yeah. No, it's good.
It's not, I can’t, you can't really complain about this.
It’s a littler crumbly.
Yeah, but that’s because it's warm from the oven.
Yeah.
I think out of a ten, I'd say this is a seven.
This is not bad.
It's actually really starting to grow on me.
So this video
was all about how good an AI recipe actually is.
Let us know in the comments
below what other sort of recipe videos you might want to see.
Yeah and I recommend you try this.
It's actually really tasty and easy too.
Thanks so much for watching.
We'll see you again really soon. See you soon. I'll have another.
