  • Publication number: 20150313257
    Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a frozen confection with a peelable coating comprising the steps of: a) Providing a mould at a temperature of at most ?10° C.; b) Filling the mould with a liquid mix of a first frozen confection; c) Allowing the first frozen confection to partially freeze; d) Removing the excess liquid mix from the mould; e) Filling the mould with a second liquid mix; f) Removing the second liquid mix; g) Filling the mould with at least one further frozen confection; and then h) Freezing to form a frozen confection product characterised in that the liquid mix of the first frozen confection comprises a chemically setting gelling biopolymer; and the second liquid mix comprises a source of divalent cations is provided. The invention also provides a frozen confection product having a frozen confection core and a peelable outer layer, characterised in that the outer layer is a gel formed from chemically setting gelling biopolymers.
