Abstract
A composite frozen confection containing a layer of ice confection and a layer or coating of fat based confectionery having suspended therein flavoring and sweetening solids wherein the fat composition has a SCI of: 70-93 at -20.degree. C. 60-93 at -10.degree. C. 55-90 at 0.degree. C. 15-40 at 20.degree. C. 0-12 at 30.degree. C. 0 at 40.degree. C. A slip melting point in the range of 25.degree.-45.degree. C., and a coating pliability parameter of at least 3. The frozen confection may also include a dry confection such as a wafer wherein the fat based confection separates the ice confection from such dry confection.

- 15-40 at 20.degree. C.
- 0-12 at 30.degree. C.
- 0 at 40.degree. C.
- (b) slip melting point in the range 25.degree.-45.degree. C.;
- (c) viscosity measured at 40.degree. C. corresponding to .eta.100 at least 35 centipoise, and .eta.CA at least 30 centipoise;
- and
- (d) a coating pliability parameter of at least 3.
