Abstract
A method of producing a frozen, dual-textured confection comprising a cream and a gelatin-containing aerated phase and a natural or simulated fruit phase is disclosed. According to one embodiment, gelatin is dispersed in water and the dispersion is then combined with cream, sweetener, emulsifier and a gum stabilizer to form a uniform emulsion. The emulsion is then partially frozen and aerated. A fluid, natural or simulated fruit component is separately produced by combining pureed fruit or synthetic fruit flavor, sweetener and a gum stabilizer. The partially frozen, aerated emulsion is passed together with a fruit component through a filler head into a mold or container so that the mold or container contains a cream and gelatin-containing phase and a fruit phase. The contents of the mold or container are then thoroughly frozen. A stick may be inserted into the mold prior to the thorough freezing so that the frozen confection may be hand-held while being eaten.
