Abstract

In a composite frozen confection product having ice confection material in contact with a layer of fat-based coating confection comprising a suspension of flavoring and sweetening solids in a fat component, the improvement wherein the fat component of the coating confection has: PA0 (a) a solids content index in each of the following ranges: PA1 70-93% at -20.degree. C.; PA1 65-93% at -10.degree. C.; PA1 55-90% at 0.degree. C.; PA1 15-40% at 20.degree. C.; PA1 0-12% at 30.degree. C.; and PA1 0% at 40.degree. C.; PA0 (b) a slip melting point in the range 23.degree. C. to 32.degree. C.; PA0 (c) a viscosity at 40.degree. C. .eta..sub.100 of at least 35 centipoise, and a viscosity at 40.degree. C. .eta..sub.CA of at least 30 centipoise; and wherein the coating confection contains 30-70% by weight of the fat component and has a viscosity at 40.degree. C. of .eta..sub.3 at least 25 poise; .eta..sub.100 at least 2.0 poise and .eta..sub.CA at least 2.2 poise.
