A device for masticating frozen foodstuffs such device having a housing; a motor
installed inside the housing; and an inlet portion for introducing foodstuffs therein
connected to a masticating chamber. A plunging device is attached such that a piston
is inserted into the inlet hopper to move the frozen foodstuffs into the masticating
chamber. A masticating element is contained within the masticating chamber and
is connected to the motor. This masticating element is formed with a threaded masticating
portion with a plurality of cutting grooves having ninety degree angles of attack
for masticating the frozen foodstuffs into the desired creamy texture. The masticating
element also has a transferring portion with a plurality of moving shoots to move
the masticated product out of the machine. The frozen fruits, vegetables, or other
foodstuffs are easily loaded, masticated, and cleanly removed from the apparatus.
When using frozen fruits this results in a non-dairy frozen dessert comprised of
quick frozen fruit composite which has been masticated to achieve a desired creamy
texture. Fruit, vegetables, or other frozen foodstuffs may be used alone or in
combination with other flavoring agents such as vanilla extract, oils such as mint
and powders or liquors such as chocolate and carob.
