Abstract
A round item of frozen confectionery having an even roundness and a shape generated by revolution but essentially lacking an apex, rough edges and forming tool marks, In particular, the frozen confectionery has the form of a ball similar in appearance to a ball made non-industrially with an ice-cream scoop. These items are manufactured by extrusion-forming of a confectionery in the cold state.

A process for the manufacture of round frozen confectionery items, which comprises:
- extruding a frozen confectionery at a temperature of −7° C. at a constant pressure;
- feeding a roll of the extruded frozen confection to a forming head at a rate which does not generate a countercurrent pressure upstream of the forming head, thus allowing a round portion of the item to be formed which portion essentially lacks an apex, rough edges and forming tool marks.
