Fancy Molded Ice Creams, Novelties and Specials

Abstract

Since early in the history of the ice cream industry, small manufacturers with imagination and initiative have realized the potential for making profit while serving consumers by making and marketing unusual ice cream and frozen dessert products. The word novelty conveys the qualities of freshness, uniqueness, and cleverness in creation and marketing. Novelties have included quiescently frozen bars, special combinations of ice cream with flavors and confections, cup items, and fancy molded items. They can be made of many types of frozen desserts, including ice cream with its various fat contents, frozen yogurt, sherbet, puddings, tofu, sorbet, gelatin, and fruit ices. To these are frequently added chocolate, candies, baked items, such as wafers and cakes, and numerous kinds of fruit.
