ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus used for the molding and dispensing of frozen beverages are provided. The apparatus includes a body cavity having an inner surface for molding a frozen beverage, an open end for dispensing the frozen beverage, and a bottom end. The apparatus further includes a rotatable threaded rod axially arranged within the body cavity, a rotatable base in fixed connection with the threaded rod to facilitate rotation of the threaded rod. Additionally the apparatus includes a moveable support in contact with the threaded rod such that the support moves within the body cavity upon rotation of the threaded rod, and an attachable cap. The method involves filling a body cavity with an unfrozen beverage, freezing the unfrozen beverage within the body cavity to mold the frozen beverage; and twisting a threaded rod in a first direction to dispense the frozen beverage from the body cavity.
