To provide a frozen dessert material molding apparatus and a frozen dessert material molding method which can continuously produce in the case of continuously molding recesses on a frozen dessert material by molds, and can make finish of molding excellent while improving production efficiency.SOLUTION: A frozen dessert material molding apparatus 10 for continuously hardening a part of a frozen dessert material in a hollow recessed shape includes: conveyance means 11 for conveying a plurality of containers； filling means 13 for filling the containers with the frozen dessert material； molding means for hardening at least a part of the frozen dessert material around molds by sequentially charging and drawing out cooled projecting molds 151 into the conveyed frozen dessert material； and refrigerant supply means 17 for supplying refrigerants to the molds 151. A frozen dessert material molding method includes cooling the molds 151 to a prescribed temperature between hardening of the first frozen dessert material and hardening of the second frozen dessert material continuously conveyed while performing hardening of prescribed times in a prescribed time.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2【課題】成形型によって冷菓材に凹部を連続成形する場合において、連続して生産でき、生産効率を向上させつつ、成形の仕上がりも良好にできる、冷菓材成形装置及び冷菓材成形方法の提供。【解決手段】冷菓材の一部を中空の凹部形状に連続的に硬化させる冷菓材成形装置１０であって、複数の容器を搬送する搬送手段１１と、容器内に冷菓材を充填する充填手段１３と、冷却した凸状の成形型１５１を搬送される冷菓材内に順次投入及び抜き出して該成形型の周囲の冷菓材の少なくとも一部を硬化させる成形手段と、冷媒を成形型１５１に供給する冷媒供給手段１７と、を有し、成形型１５１は、所定時間に所定数の硬化を行いつつ、連続して搬送される第一の冷菓材の硬化から第二の冷菓材の硬化までの間に所定の温度に冷却される冷菓材の製造方法。【選択図】図２
