PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for a frozen dessert that can reduce time until stabilizing the frozen dessert discharged is to be at a desired temperature and a loss amount of the raw material for the frozen dessert.SOLUTION: The temperature of the raw material for the frozen dessert is set to be a lower temperature than a target temperature during a normal operation for producing a frozen dessert by carrying out a switching from raw material cooling operation D1 to frozen dessert production initial operation D2 when a drive current value detected by a current value detection unit 6 of a rotary drive mechanism 40 reaches to a predetermined drive current value set to a control unit 10 in advance, which is higher than a target drive current value TA of the rotary drive mechanism 40 during the normal operation for producing a frozen dessert.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】排出される冷菓を所望の温度になるように安定させるまでの時間を短縮し、冷菓原料のロス量を低減することができる冷菓製造装置を提供すること。【解決手段】原料冷却運転D1から冷菓製造初期運転D2への切り替えを、回転駆動機構40の電流検出手段6によって検出した駆動電流値が、冷菓製造通常運転時の回転駆動機構40の目標駆動電流値TAよりも高い、制御手段10に予め設定した所定の駆動電流値に達したときに行うようにすることにより、冷菓原料の温度を冷菓製造通常運転時の目標温度よりも低い温度になるようにする。【選択図】図3
