ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method is provided for forming a food article having a spheroidal shell with a filling. The apparatus includes a female mold body with a cavity which has walls that define the bottom and lateral shape of the spheroidal shell. A plurality of male mold plugs are sequentially inserted into the cavity of the female mold body. A measuring plug inserted in the cavity evenly distributes a charge of shell-forming material in the lower portion of the cavity. A shell-forming plug inserted in the cavity redistributes the evenly distributed charge of shell-forming material in a layer of generally uniform thickness at the bottom and along the lateral walls of the cavity, leaving an open-ended shell on removal of the shell-forming plug. A charge of filler is received in the open-ended shell. A shell-closing plug having a concave end surface is then inserted in the cavity to form the upper portion of the shell material over the top of the filler to complete the food article. The female mold member has a movable lift plug at the lower end of the cavity to remove the completed food article from the cavity.
