A dessert cube is provided comprising a concentrated food composition containing a plurality of dessert ingredients, presented to the retail consumer in the form of a cube, tablet, or other suitable compact and substantially rigid form. The food composition typically comprises sugar, of either coarse or fine varieties, flavorings, food coloring, a small amount of water and possibly gelatin, admixed together to produce a free-flowing granular mix. The free-flowing granular mix is subsequently compressed in a press to form the substantially solid block or cube. The solid block or cube is adapted to be mixed with and dispersed or dissolved in milk or water by the consumer at the time of preparation, and mixed with a quantity of sugar. The resulting solution is then subjected to a predetermined cooking process (such as heating and then cooling) to thereby produce a dessert-like food product, e.g., a gelatin, custard or flan. |
