  • Patent number: 10716318
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an alcohol containing bulk frozen dessert product that is formed by adding an alcohol containing composition to a frozen dessert product premix after the premix has been pasteurized. The alcohol containing composition is comprised of an alcohol, a water based mixer, and a stabilizer and/or emulsifier. The alcohol containing bulk frozen dessert product may have an alcohol content from about 2 to about 10% and will be able to be stored and consumed at temperatures for traditional bulk frozen dessert products.

  • Patent number: 10631554
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10631553
    Abstract: 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 is provided. The process includes substantially flash freezing an alcohol-containing liquid composition so as to produce a substantially single-phase solid alcohol-containing composition. The solid alcohol-containing composition, and/or pieces thereof, are then exposed to an environment having temperature of from about ?15° C. to about ?30° C. so as to soften the solid alcohol-containing compositions and/or meld the pieces thereof into a single mass. The temperature of the single mass is then reduced so as to harden the single mass. Also, a process for incorporating a frozen alcohol-containing liquid composition into a non-alcohol-containing fraction is provided. Alcohol-containing liquid compositions suitable for use in the process are also provided.
