Cold desserts incorporating gelatin-based (gummy) components are provided in this paper. In particular, stick-mounted cold desserts, edible-cone cold desserts, and container-served desserts with gelatin-based components are described. The gelatin-based components of these desserts are made from gelatin-based candy material that is specially-formulated for consumption at cold temperatures. The gelatin-based components may be used with other components of a cold dessert such as with flavored water ice, ice cream, sherbet, sorbet, and the like as described throughout this paper.

The present invention relates to a method for the manufacture of composite frozen confectioneries that provide an enhanced refreshing sensation upon consumption, the confectioneries comprising a soft core of aerated ice confection preferably comprising a refreshing block and a crispy ice coating.

A pastry filling formulation and pastry food products including the pastry filling formulation are described having a freeze thaw stable thermoreversible gel with other ingredients including, but are not limited to, water, a sweetening agent, and one or more fruit additives (e.g., fruit flavor, fruit coloring, fruit puree, etc.). The freeze thaw stable thermoreversible gel permits the pastry filling to retain water during the thawing process from a frozen state.

In a production facility for coating ice cream products a plurality of carriers are used for transport of the ice cream products from the supply station to a coating station where coating, for example chocolate, is applied to the product. The production facility includes weight equipment configured for automatically weighing the ice cream products before and after application of the coating, which is used in a feedback loop for adjusting the coating parameters, for example chocolate temperature.

A fat-based confection composition comprising from 1 wt % to 40 wt % calcium carbonate, from 35 wt % to 65 wt % fat, from 5 wt % to 45 wt % sugar, from 2 wt % to 15 wt % cocoa powder, and from 0.05 wt % to 1.0 wt % emulsifier, and wherein the calcium carbonate has a median particle diameter size (D.sub.50) of from 1.2 microns to 8 microns.

A process for the preparation of fat-based confection compositions comprising calcium carbonate and sugars, the process comprising the steps of mixing and heating a composition comprising: non-fat solid particles, fat and emulsifier to form a dispersion, wherein the non-fat solid particles comprise sugars and calcium carbonate; and refining the particles of the dispersion to have a D.sub.v90 of less than 50 microns.
