ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for making a frozen confection product from a liquid food substance comprises a gas port for selectively injecting gas from a pressurized source into the liquid food substance at an injection point to form a mixture, a freeze tube having an inlet end and an outlet end and having a substantially cylindrical wall for containing the mixture therein, a cooling circuit for cooling an external surface of the cylindrical wall, and a whipping auger disposed within the freeze tube for emulsifying the liquid food substance portion of the mixture with the gas portion thereof, the whipping auger propelling a first portion of the mixture in a helical pattern from the inlet end of the freeze tube toward the outlet end and for simultaneously propelling a second portion of the mixture in a direction from the outlet end toward the inlet end of the freeze tube. A method for making a frozen confection from a liquid food substance comprises the steps of mixing a gas with the liquid food substance, introducing the mixture into a freeze tube having an inlet end and an outlet end, propelling a first portion of the mixture from the inlet end of the freeze tube toward the outlet end thereof and simultaneously propelling a second portion of the liquid from the outlet end of the freeze tube toward the inlet end thereof to emulsify the gas with the liquid food substance, and cooling the mixture.
