A method for producing an edible composite of gas hydrate and ice is provided, the method comprising the steps of contacting an aqueous solution with carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide at a sufficiently high pressure to form a gas hydrate, but at a temperature preventing this; and then reducing the temperature of the solution to form the gas hydrate and ice; characterized in that the aqueous solution contains from 0.0001 to 2 wt % of an ice structuring protein. Frozen confections containing gas hydrates and methods for producing them are also provided.
