  • Patent number: 6835406
    Abstract: A frozen fudge drink is provided by first blending a plurality of fudge pieces with a relatively small predetermined amount of water to provide an intermediate product that has no significant fudge particles. The liquid-like intermediate product is then blended with a plurality of pieces of ice. The duration of the blending is sufficient to eliminate all large ice pieces and provide a relatively smooth and flowable iced frozen fudge drink having grains of ice. In the first blending step, there may be added a thickener/emulsifier, some cocoa, some sugar and some creamer. A one step variant combines all constituents, including water and ice in a single blending stage that provides a flowable drink having small bits of fudge.
