ABSTRACT:
A method for producing an ice cream product is provided involving the steps of: introducing at least one stick into a cavity of a mold for shaping the ice cream product, introducing ice cream under pressure into the cavity, releasing the pressure and then removing the shaped ice cream from the cavity. Sticks are supported within the cavity at least during introduction of the ice cream. Further, the invention also relates to an apparatus including: an injection device having a chamber with feeding mechanism for holding starting material, a mechanism for inserting pressure upon the starting material and an outlet for delivering pressurized starting material and a mold. The mold in the closed position includes a mold cavity to be filled with starting material through an intake opening by means of an outlet on the injection device, at least one stick introduction opening and air vents. The mold is provided with a supporting mechanism to hold sticks within the mold cavity. The method and apparatus prevent formation of hollow spots in the produced ice cream products while maintaining production speed and preventing stick damage.
