Abstract
Abstract The present invention is for an oat or rice-based frozen dessert composition which has been prepared using the grain derived solids, including the bran. In the method of the invention, cooked oat or rice grain is mixed with sufficient liquid so as to form a mixture having a composition of about 30% to 70% cooked grain by weight with a moisture content of 50% to 85%. Sweetening and flavoring agents are added to this mixture according to personal preference. The mixture is then homogenized and frozen with churning until a temperature of about -9.5° C. to -5.5° C. is obtained.
