ABSTRACT:
A method for continuously producing pop-shaped frozen confections at line speeds exceeding 20 cycles per minute is disclosed. A conveyor system for transporting pop-shaped metal molds is provided. The molds are filled with a flowable confection so that the top portions of the molds are left unfilled. The molds are then transported into a freezing zone to partially freeze the contents. A stick is inserted into the partially frozen contents of each mold. Next, a liquid cryogen, such as liquid nitrogen, is added to each mold to cover the exposed surface of the material. The liquid cryogen is then vaporized and the molds are removed from the freezing zone. Then, the completely frozen, pop-shaped confections are removed from each mold and immersed in a water bath to form an encapsulating ice shell thereon. The ice-coated frozen confections may be subsequently packaged.
