Claims16
A frozen confectionery product comprising:
- a core comprising a frozen confection, the core is at least partially coated with a frozen flexible edible gel coating, the gel coating being provided with at least one cutting line allowing one to peel-off the gel-coating at least partially, the gel coating comprises at least two successive gel layers in contact with each other;
- wherein the gel layers are visually distinct from each other and at least one of the visually distinct gel layers is frozen separately from another visually distinct gel layer so as to be peeled off the core separately relative to each other.
A method for manufacturing a frozen confectionery product comprising the steps:
- filling a first mix into a mold, freezing the first mix so that the first mix forms a first frozen gel layer in the mold and sucking off the excess mix;
- filling a second mix into the mold, freezing the second mix so that the second mix forms a second frozen gel layer in the mold and sucking off the excess mix, thereby obtaining a coating shell consisting of two visually distinct successive frozen gel layers in contact with one another;
- filling a third mix forming the core consisting of a frozen confection into the shell;
- freezing and demolding the first mix, the second mix and the third mix from the mold;
- and
- cutting at least one cutting line into the frozen gel coating to form the frozen confectionery product;
- wherein the cutting line allows one to peel off the gel coating at least partially and the product comprises at least two visually distinct gel layers that can be peeled off the core separately relative to one another.
