Abstract: Disclosed are non-dairy dessert compositions suitable for the preparation of soft serve aerated frozen desserts. The compositions comprise from about 25% by weight to about 75% of a whole comminuted fruit puree, from about 0.3% to 1.5% by weight of an acid-stable whipping agent, from about 0.1% to 0.5% by weight of an acid-stable polysaccharide gum, from about 1% to about 15% of a malto dextrin bodying agent, from about 12% to about 28% of a nutritive carbohydrate sweetening agent, and from about 1% to 10% of an edible fatty triglyceride oil. The moisture content of the dessert compositions ranges between about 45% to 75%. After homogenization of the dessert compositions, an aerated frozen, soft serve dessert having a density of 0.2 to 0.95 g./cc. can be prepared in conventional aerated frozen dessert equipment.

Abstract: Non-dairy dessert compositions suitable for the preparation of aerated frozen desserts by either commercial agitated freezing or by at-home static freezing. The compositions comprise from about 35% by weight to about 80% of a specially prepared cooked fruit base, from about 0.3% to 1.5% by weight of an acid-stable whipping agent, from about 0.05% to 0.5% by weight of an acid-stable polysaccharide gum, from about 1% to about 15% of a malto dextrin bodying agent, and from about 1% to 10% of an edible fatty triglyceride oil. The moisture content of the dessert compositions ranges between about 45% to 75%.
