APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A FROZEN NOVELTY

摘要

An apparatus and method for forming composite ice-cream-like edible novelties having discrete dough additions therein. The apparatus includes a main die (20) having an entrance (22) and exit (30) disposed downstream of the entrance, and at least one intermediate die (40) positioned within the main die at a location upstream of the exit of the main die. The method includes introducing an ice-cream-like composition to the entrance of the main die in at least a semi-frozen state, and a flowable discrete addition is extruded through the intermediate die at an elevated temperature. The ice-cream-like composition and the discrete doughy addition are extruded together through the exit of the main die to form the composite ice-cream-like edible novelty.
