A process for making an alcohol-containing frozen comestible substantially devoid of ice crystal agglomerations and/or ice crystal striations and/or trapped air and/or liquids and products thereof is provided. The process comprises rapidly solidifying an alcohol-containing liquid composition so as to produce a substantially single-phase solid alcohol-containing admixture. The single-phase solid alcohol-containing admixture, and/or pieces thereof, is then tempered by raising the temperature thereof so as to soften the single-phase solid alcohol-containing admixture and/or meld the pieces thereof into a single tempered mass. The single tempered mass is then re-hardened by reducing the temperature thereof. Also, a process for incorporating the single-phase solid frozen alcohol-containing admixture into a non-alcohol-containing composition is provided.
A process for the production of an alcohol-containing frozen comestible from a liquid composition comprising a sugar component, a fat component and a water component, comprising cooling said composition to effect solidification, characterized in that said composition further comprises an ethyl alcohol component and said cooling is provided at such a rapid rate by an initial cooling environment so as to effect simultaneous solidification of each of said components to provide a single-phase solid admixture at a solidification temperature.

An alcohol-containing frozen comestible comprising a sugar component, a fat component, an alcohol component and a water component having a soft at least one single tempered mass which is at least one of encapsulated in an ice cream, a sorbet, a frozen yogurt or a frozen dairy product or interlaced in a non-alcohol-containing composition.
