The present invention relates to an apparatus for preparing frozen ice confectionery articles including a freezer having a freezer pump that cools and transports the frozen confectionery material, a rotative distributor that receives it under pressure and distributes it into flexible pipes, and a slidable filler that includes a motor having a pre-programmable motion pattern to provide a desired pattern of deposition into a plurality of molds while sliding the filler toward and away from the molds, a plurality of nozzle pipes to deposit the material, and a metering device, wherein each mold receives frozen ice confection material from a corresponding nozzle pipe that discharges the same under a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure into the mold. Also included are methods of preparing frozen confectionery articles as well as frozen confectionery articles having the smoother texture of extruded products and at least about 50 weight percent water.
