Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for producing ice cream, and more specifically, to a method for producing ice cream that imitates the shape of other foods.

``Prior art'' Conventionally, this type of ice cream has been made using only ice cream as the raw material, or ice cream as the main raw material and other foods as auxiliary raw materials, imitating the shape of sweets such as daifuku. , those imitating the shapes of vegetables and fruits such as sweet potatoes and lemons have been proposed.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' However, it takes a lot of effort to mold ice cream into a suitable shape, and this type of ice cream has the drawback of being expensive.

In addition, ice cream that has been molded into an appropriate shape must be sold wrapped in packaging material for hygiene reasons, and even if it imitates the shape of other foods, the shape must be removed from the packaging material. cannot be confirmed, and cannot sufficiently arouse consumers' desire to purchase.

Therefore, the present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and is a method for producing ice cream that is extremely easy to mold and that allows consumers to extremely easily and reliably guess the shape of the contents based on the packaging form. The purpose is to provide the following.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' In accordance with the above-mentioned object, the structure of the present invention, which is the gist of the above-mentioned claims, is to solve the above-mentioned problems by using a synthetic resin nozzle with one or more narrow-mouthed nozzles. Cooled and semi-solidified ice cream is injected into a cup-shaped container in the shape of noodle strings, and on top of the noodle string-shaped ice cream in the container, menma, menma,
This container contains ingredients made of naruto, vegetables, or imitation foods thereof, and is further characterized by a technical means in which a lid is placed on the edge of the opening of the container.

``Example'' Next, examples of the present invention will be described below based on the ice cream obtained according to the present invention shown in the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a container imitating a cup of ramen noodles, 2 is a noodle-like ice cream imitating ramen stored in the container 1, and 3 is a ramen soup imitation poured over the ice cream 2. Reference numeral 4 indicates the ingredients stored thereon, and reference numeral 5 indicates the lid.

The container 1 is made of synthetic resin and has a cup shape, and in this embodiment, it is made of foamed synthetic resin, which is the same as that used in ordinary ramen noodles containers. The container 1 made of foamed synthetic resin has excellent insulation properties, so that when you hold the container 1 in your hand, it is not cold and the ice cream 2 is heated to the same temperature as your hand.
can be prevented from becoming easily melted.

The present invention first provides the above-mentioned cup-shaped container 1 made of synthetic resin with one or more narrow nozzles.
Ice cream that has been cooled and semi-solidified is injected into the container as noodle string-shaped ice cream 2. When pouring ordinary ice cream into a container, the ice cream is poured while maintaining its fluidity so that the top surface is flat, but in the present invention, it is pre-cooled to maintain a certain degree of shape retention. The noodles are adjusted to semi-solidify and maintain the shape of noodle strings when injected from the narrow nozzle. Note that when the semi-solidified noodle-like ice cream 2 is injected into the container 1 placed below from the narrow nozzle facing downward, the ice cream 2 tends to pile up in a mountain shape inside the container 1. However, by increasing the distance between the narrow nozzle and the container 1, this drawback can be overcome and the ice cream 2 can be injected and stored flat in the container 1.
In addition, when injecting the ice cream 2, one or both of the narrow-mouth nozzle and the container 1 may be moved within a certain range, or a plurality of narrow-mouth nozzles may be arranged on the container 1 and the arrangement density may be increased. The ice cream 2 can be injected and stored flat in the container 1 by appropriately adjusting the diameter, injection pressure, and so on.

Next, in this example, the above ice cream 2
Ramen soup imitation body 3 is placed on top of it. This ramen soup imitation body 3 is made of ice cream flavored and colored with chiyokolate, fruit juice, syrup, etc. when it is poured over the ice cream 2.
We use materials that have fluidity even when cooled to the extent that they do not melt. Note that this ramen soup imitation body 3 may be omitted.

Then, on top of the ramen soup imitation body 3, ingredients 4 are stored. This ingredient 4 is Menma, Naruto,
It is made of vegetables or imitations thereof, usually imitations made from jelly. Note that you may use the real ingredient 4 instead of the imitation, but when using these authentic ingredients, it is preferable to use dried ingredients in advance so that the texture does not deteriorate during frozen storage. In order to obtain the authentic taste and texture, frozen foods can be used, such as by pre-drying to reduce the water content and then freezing in a large freezer, or by vacuum packaging and freezing in the same large freezer. It is necessary to prevent the loss of taste and texture caused by freezing as much as possible. In addition, when using real ingredients for Ingredients 4, their purpose is mainly for decoration, and if thinly sliced ingredients are used, they are usually eaten frozen, so the taste and texture may deteriorate due to freezing. can be ignored.

Finally, the present invention disposes a lid 5 on the opening edge of the container 1. The lid 5 in the illustrated example has its back surface thermally bonded to the opening edge of the container 1.
Of course, a conventionally known fitting lid in which the outer circumferential portion of the lid body 5 fits into the opening of the container 1 may be used.

``Effects of the Invention'' The present invention is as described above, and provides a container 1 imitating a cup ramen container which is very popular in Japan.
By using ice cream, consumers can intuitively guess the shape of the contents from the packaging form.

Furthermore, in the present invention, since the ice cream 2 stored in the container 1 has a noodle-like shape, the molding process can be easily achieved by simply injecting it from a narrow nozzle.
In particular, this narrow-mouth nozzle only requires changing the nozzle of a conventional ice cream filling machine, so conventional equipment can be used for manufacturing equipment, requiring only a small capital investment, which does not place an unnecessary financial burden on consumers. It is possible to provide a method for producing ice cream that requires only a few steps.
