Coated ice confectionary products

A confectionery or ice cream product provided with a coating having a marbled appearance.

A process for preparing a coating having a marbled appearance which comprises laying strips of liquid coating material across a mould, modifying the surface or configuration of the strips and solidifying the coating material.

A process for preparing a confectionery or ice cream product provided with a coating having a dipped generally linear marbled appearance formed from two coating materials which comprises applying two coating materials simultaneously onto the confectionery or ice cream product by dipping, enrobing or spraying to coat the confectionery or ice cream product with a layer of coating of the two different coating materials simultaneously and solidifying the coating.

A process for preparing a confectionery or ice cream product provided with a coating having a drizzle appearance with a roughly continuous stripe formed from two layers of coating materials which comprises applying a first coating material to the confectionery product by enrobing, spraying or dipping to coat the confectionery product with a first layer of coating material, and then projecting a continuous stream of a second coating material randomly past the coated confectionery product and solidifying the coating.

A process for preparing a confectionery or ice cream product with a coating having a splatter appearance with a roughly discontinuous stripe formed from two layers of coating materials which comprises applying a first coating material to the confectionery or ice cream product by enrobing, spraying or dipping to coat the confectionery or ice cream product with a first layer of coating material, and then projecting a discontinuous stream of a second coating material randomly past the coated confectionery or ice cream product by interrupting the flow of the second coating material and solidifying the coating.

A process for preparing a confectionery product with a coating having the appearance of either stripes or spots by applying a first coating material to the confectionery product by enrobing, spraying or dipping to coat the confectionery product with a first layer of coating material, and then passing the confectionery product between the opposing faces of a pair of spinning discs from which are projected streams of a second coating material by centrifugal force onto the coated confectionery product, and then solidifying the coating.

A process for preparing a confectionery product with a coating having the appearance of either stripes or spots by applying a first coating material to the confectionery product by enrobing, spraying or dipping to coat the confectionery product with a first layer of coating material, and then projecting a second coating onto the confectionery product having a first layer of coating using a high pressure jet of second coating impinging upon a static profiled surface from which the coating is sprayed onto the confectionery product.

A process for preparing a confectionery product with a coating having the appearance of either stripes or spots by applying a first coating material to the confectionery product by enrobing, spraying or dipping to coat the confectionery product with a first layer of coating material, and then passing the confectionery product vertically past a spinning hollow vessel provided with at least one lateral aperture from which are projected one or more streams of a second coating material by centrifugal force onto the coated confectionery product, and then solidifying the coating.
