Abstract
A method for preparing and storing a free-flowing, frozen alimentary dairy product includes the steps of preparing an alimentary composition for freezing and slowly dripping the composition into a freezing chamber. Next is rapidly freezing the dripping composition into small beads so as to minimize ice crystal formation. The method continues with the storing of the beads for extended periods of time at a temperature at least as low as -20.degree. F. This maintains the free-flowing characteristic. Consumption enjoyment of the beads is increased by bringing the beads up to a temperature above -20.degree. F., preferably within a range of -10.degree. to -20.degree. F., prior to serving.
