Abstract
Aerochocolates in which the gas forms the continous phase and the solid chocolate forms a fine granular conglomerate and a process for manufacturing aerochocolates having the apparent desity of between 0.23 and 0.48, whose chocolate is in the state of a fine granular conglomerate, which process comprises agitating, with cooling, a melted chocolate so as to include gas therein until its temperature becomes 8.degree. to 14.degree. C. lower than the melting point of the fat contained in the chocolate and until its apparent density becomes between 1.1 and 0.7, and expanding it under reduced pressure of 150 Torr or lower, whereby converting the gas and the solid phases.
