9.1.1 Ice-cream Coating
Traditionally choc-ices were manufactured using a coating made from cocoa powder and non-cocoa vegetable fats. The coatings tended to crack easily and fall away from the centre. If normal tempered chocolate were used, it would be very hard and not have a pleasant melting sensation within the mouth. This is because it has been stored at freezer temperature (about –18 C), so all the fat is solid and takes a long time to melt. In order to overcome this, ice-cream chocolate are made softer by adding a lot more fat, normally more than 10%, but to be called “chocolate” only cocoa butter, milk fat or cocoa nut oil can be used. The milk and cocoa nut oils in particular make the chocolate much softer to eat and less likely to crack. In addition the coating chocolate is added to the frozen product in the untempered state. This means that it solidifies in forms I or II. Here the crystals are less tightly packed than for tempered chocolate, so the product is softer. In addition, they need only to reach about 16 C before they melt (not 32 C as in normal tempered chocolate), so they do so much move quickly in the mouth – or on your clothes if you are unfortunate enough for a piece of chocolate to fall off the bar onto them.
