Abstract
A low density, ready-to-serve frosting is provided that can be stored for extended periods of time with little or no separation of the aqueous and shortening phases and with minimal volume changes. The frosting is stabilized by the formation of an aqueous phase gel rather than by manipulation of the composition of the shortening phase. The aqueous phase gel comprises water and maltodextrin, water and inulin, or water and a mixture of maltodextrin and inulin.
