There is described an apparatus (1) that may be used for providing ice lollies (2) with a coating from a dipping container (4). The coating mix (3) comprises almond flakes (16) and fluid chocolate (10) which is inserted in a third area (38). Displacement bodies (25) are lifted and lowered into first areas (28) while the ice lolly (2) is lowered in a central second area (20). The lowering occurs when the displacement means are completely down whereby a well-defined surface level (23) is achieved by using level plates (21). The movement of the displacement means (25) creates sufficient stirring and flow in flow ducts (36, 43) in order to ensure homogenisation of the coating mix (3) situated in the central second area (20) where the ice lollies (2) are coated.
