Abstract

A process for producing a soft frozen fruit flavored dairy product is disclosed. The process requires two freezing steps wherein a flavored concentrate mix is frozen before milk fat is added to the mix. The flavored concentrate mix together with the contained milk fat is then frozen again without mixing or stirring to allow ice crystals to form, preferably of small size, to develop a mouthfeel with components of the fruit flavor.
