The present invention is directed to a single phase alcohol based frozen product. The single phase product is manufactured by introducing a premix, which includes alcohol, into a body of cryogen which freezes the premix rapidly. The single phased product does not include any liquid or gaseous components. The invention elevates the melting and fusing temperature of the pellets such that the storage temperatures of the pellets are similar to bulk frozen desserts. The invention may utilize the ingredients of bulk frozen desserts with the addition of alcohol. The invention is stable at retail and home freezer situations. The formulation and manufacture of the single phase product is different from bulk frozen desserts as well as other alcohol containing frozen products. The result is a product that maintains the desired individuality of the pellets while maintaining structure, such that fusing is inhibited at the storage and serving temperature.
A frozen dessert product comprising a single phase pellet said single phase being a solid phase, said pellet consisting essentially of a premix comprising about 6% to 7.5% sucrose equivalency, and 0.025% to about 0.075% artificial sweetener, and about 4% to 2.5% alcohol, said pellet resulting from said premix being introduced into a cryogen as a small individual volume of liquid, then completely freezing, said pellet remaining in a pellet form at a temperature of from about −25° C. to about −5° C.
A method of forming a single phase dessert product, the method comprising the steps of:
A frozen dessert product comprising a single phase pellet said single phase being a solid phase, said pellet consisting essentially of a premix comprising about 7% to about 9.5% sucrose equivalency, and about 0.025% to about 0.075% artificial sweetener, and about 3% to about 0.5% alcohol, said pellet resulting from said premix being introduced into a cryogen as a small individual volume of liquid, then completely freezing, said pellet remaining in a pellet form at a temperature of from about −25° C. to about −5° C. without fusing to another pellet.
A method of forming a single phase dessert product, the method comprising the steps of:
A frozen dessert product comprising a single phase pellet formed from a premix comprising from about 3.6% to about 7.2% sugar and 1.4% to 2.8% alcohol, said pellet resulting from said premix being introduced into a cryogen, said pellet consisting essentially of pre-mix and remaining a single phase solid product at a temperature of from between about −15 and about −25 degrees Celsius without fusing to another pellet of similar composition.
A frozen dessert product comprising a single phase pellet formed from a premix, said premix containing no bulking agents, said premix comprising from about 7.5% to 8.5% total sucrose and sucrose equivalent content and about 1.5% to about 2.5% alcohol said pellet resulting from said premix being introduced into a cryogen, said pellet consisting essentially of pre-mix and remaining a single phase product at a temperature of about −25 degrees Celsius to about −5 degrees Celsius without fusing to another pellet of similar composition.
A frozen dessert product comprising a single phase pellet formed from a premix, said premix containing between about 1 to 10% alcohol, said pellet resulting from said premix being introduced into a cryogen, said pellet consisting essentially of pre-mix and remaining a single phase product at a temperature of about −25 degrees Celsius to about −5 degrees Celsius without agglomerating with adjacent pellets of similar composition.
A frozen drink product comprising a single phase pellets formed from a premix, said premix containing an alcohol content making said frozen drink up to about 20 proof;
