Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for making a frozen confectionery product (3) by rotary vertical extrusion into a container (2), said apparatus comprising a nozzle (3) comprising a frozen confectionery passage (4) with one inlet port (5) and a single outlet port (6) having an elongated cross-section, two coating passages (7) with two coating inlet ports (8) and two corresponding coating outlet ports (9) having elongated cross-sections, wherein the frozen confectionery passage inlet port (5) and the single elongated outlet port (6) are joined by a funnel passage (10) expanding at an angle of at least 35-25°, preferably 32-27°, relative to the flow direction in the nozzle (3) and a land length passage (11) having walls parallel to the flow direction of the nozzle, and wherein the coating outlet ports (9) are positioned on the inside walls of the land length passage (11) upstream of the frozen confectionery outlet port (6) and extends in parallel to the frozen confectionery outlet port (6), so as to form an annular or helical coating layer (12) in or on the frozen confectionery (13) upon rotation of the nozzle (3) and the container (2) with respect to one another. The invention also relates to a method of making frozen confectionery product with large inclusions and to the product as such.
