Abstract

A filling means for filling an edible cone with a frozen confection comprising: a tubular housing which surrounds and is coaxial with a piston; the piston having a longitudinal passage which has an outlet at the lower end and an inlet at the upper end; and means for supplying the frozen confection to the inlet of the longitudinal passage of the piston, wherein the tubular housing has an outlet at the lower end which is a nozzle having vertical slits and the outlet of the longitudinal passage of the piston is a nozzle having a rounded aperture and wherein the piston is longitudinally movable within the tubular housing such that when the piston is seated within the tubular housing the piston covers the vertical slits, and when the piston is raised within the tubular housing the vertical slits are uncovered is provided. Also provided is a process for the production of a composite frozen product comprising the steps of: Providing an edible cone; Coating the internal surface of the cone with a fat-based coating; Filling the cone with a frozen confection; and then Adding a further portion of a frozen confection onto the frozen confection in the filled cone characterized in that step c) is carried out using a nozzle which has a rounded aperture and in that step d) is carried out using a nozzle which has an aperture capable of forming a fluted shape.
