The present invention concerns machinery (1) for the processing of ice cream (100) and comprising: - An inlet (30) and a collection, chamber (40); - A processing chamber (40) adapted to receive the ice cream product (100) and delimited by a first actuator element (8) and a second actuator element (5) that are movable along a processing direction; - At least one baffle (6) placed inside the processing chamber (40) and that separates said chamber into two parts (40', 40"), said baffle (6) being equipped with a plurality of openings; - A control system that controls the reciprocation, of said first actuator element. (8) and second actuator element (5) in a moving away/moving closer to/from, the baffle (6) motion in such a way that the ice cream product (100) placed Inside the processing chamber (40) can be pushed one or more times from one part to the other of the baffle through the plurality of openings with which it is equipped.
