Abstract
A whipped frozen dessert product, which emulates features of conventional soft serve ice cream but at the lower temperatures of home freezers, has a unique composition with multiple stabilizers, multiple emulsifiers, and multiple sugars.
Claims15
A whipped, emulsified frozen dessert product
- extrudable in continuous form and coneable at temperatures at least in the range of 0.degree. to 10.degree. F. for serving by extrusion at home freezer temperatures,
- consisting essentially, in unflavored form, of a controlled emulsion of edible fat, protein, water, sugars, stabilizers, and emulsifiers,
- said edible fat accounting for up to substantially 15% by weight of the product,
- said protein accounting for substantially 3% to 7% by weight of the product,
- said water accounting for substantially 43% to 63% by weight of the product,
- said sugars accounting for substantially 18% to 30% by weight of the product, and
- said emulsifiers and stabilizers accounting for substantially 0.55% to 1.8% by weight of the product.

- consisting essentially, in unflavored form, of a controlled emulsion of edible fat, protein, water, sugars, stabilizers, and emulsifiers,
- said fat being present in an amount up to substantially 15% by weight of the product,
- said protein being present in an amount substantially between 3% and 7% by weight of the product,
