Abstract
Disclosed are food products having a first, high moisture portion and second portion comprising crisp, relatively dry materials such as puffed cereal grains or pieces without a discrete interjacent solid barrier. The high moisture phase can be a gelled diary product such as yogurt or pudding. In addition to the puffed cereal pieces, the second portion additionally essentially comprises a defined water-in-oil emulsion throughout which the pieces are dispersed. The emulsion includes a high solids, discontinuous aqueous phase, preferably gelled, dispersed within a low oil content continuous gelled oil phase. The oil phase comprises an edible liquid oil, preferably winterized, which is also gelled. The composite food products exhibit good interphasic stability for the typical refrigerated temperature distribution time periods as well as the maintenance of the relatively crisp texture of the puffed cereal pieces.
