The present invention is concerned with an edible plastic dispersion that does not exhibit deficiencies such as brittleness or too much elasticity and that does not have a continuous fat phase, including at least two condensed phases, at least one of which is continuous, which dispersion comprises (I) gel-forming composition (A) containing gelling agent (a) in an amount of 1-8 times the critical concentration, and (II) gel-forming composition (B) containing gelling agent (b) in an amount of 1-8 times the critical concentration, such that (i) at least one of the gelling agents is an aggregate-forming gelling agent, (ii) at least one of the gelling agents is a gelling agent other than starch (iii) both gelling agents are gelling agents other than non-waxy intact starch, and (iv) gelling agent (a) is different from gelling agent (b). ,, . |
