A process for manufacturing frozen aerated confectionery products is provided, the process comprising providing two rollers wherein each roller has a multiplicity of open cavities on its surface and wherein the rollers are aligned so that the surfaces touch; providing filling means for filling said cavities with a frozen aerated confection at a temperature higher than the temperature of the rollers; filling two cavities, one on each roller, with a frozen aerated confection having an overrun of between 10 and 130%; allowing the frozen aerated confection to expand outside its cavity; and counter-rotating the rollers so that respective cavities in the two rollers lie opposite one another and the frozen aerated confection in a cavity of the first roller is pressed against the frozen aerated confection in an opposite cavity of the second roller; characterised in that the surfaces of the rollers in which the cavities are located are conical. An apparatus for operating the process is also provided. |
