Abstract
A unique “edible utensil” specifically designed for eating ice cream in a new and “fun” manner. This invention allows the consumer to eat ice cream as though it were “chips and dip”. The chips will be any shape or size as long as they can serve the function of scooping ice cream without breaking and allowing for the consumer to hold the chip between his fingers so as to enable him to scoop the ice cream from a container.
Claims15
An edible crisp unitary pastry having a double-curvature and having a planar longitudinal axis and a planar latitude axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, said pastry comprising:
- a. a bowl shaped portion able to contain ice cream or other filling, said bowl shaped portion being open on one side of the axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and closed on the other side of that axis;
- and,
- b. a grasping portion attached to an end of the bowl shaped portion that permits the pastry to be held at the grasping portion between the thumb and another finger of the same hand, such that a grasping force is essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and essentially parallel to the latitude axis.
An edible crisp unitary pastry that is formed from a circular, elliptical, or oval sheet of dough by:
- a. folding or pinching an end of the sheet of dough along a planar axis;
- and
- b. rolling another end of the sheet of dough along the same planar axis;
- wherein, once the dough is baked, it can be held at the folded or pinched end between the thumb and another finger of the same hand, such that a grasping force is essentially perpendicular to the planar axis.
An edible crisp unitary pastry having a double-curvature and having a planar longitudinal axis and a planar latitude axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, said pastry comprising:
- a. a containing means to contain ice cream or other filling, said containing means being open on one side of the width axis and closed on the other side of the width axis;
- and,
- b. a grasping means attached to an end of the containing means that permits the pastry to be held at the grasping means between the thumb and another finger of the same hand, such that a grasping force is essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and essentially parallel to the width axis.
