摘要

Disclosed is an apparatus (1) for dispensing a frozen confection, the apparatus comprising: a chamber (2) which houses at least one container (3) suitable for containing a frozen confection. The container (3) comprises a product outlet (5) through which the frozen confection can be dispensed; a receptacle comprising a body extending from the product outlet to a base (9); a flexible bag for containing the frozen confection and located inside the receptacle; and a propellant inlet through which pressurized gas can be introduced to a region inside the receptacle and outside of the bag to urge the frozen confection towards the product outlet. A support member (11) is arranged to limit or prevent expansion of the receptacle base when the pressurized gas is introduced therein.
