Abstract of the Disclosure A method for filling containers with "sundae-style" yogurt includes the steps of placing a transparent lid over the top of a container, and providing an opening in the bottom of the closed, empty container. The container is inverted to position the lid at the bottom of the container, with the opening being foremost. A fruit fraction is introduced through the opening to form a layer of fruit preserves overlying the inside surface of the lid. The remainder of the container is filled with a bacteriologically inoculated, gum stabilized liquid milk fraction introduced through the opening. The opening is then sealed, and the con- tents of the filled inverted container are incubated so that fermentation of the liquid milk fraction produces yogurt. The yogurt in the inverted container is refrigerated to solidify the stabilizers in the yogurt. The container is then positioned in the upright position, providing a container of yogurt with gel strength to support the more dense top layer of fruit pre- serves. Alternatively, a container in an upright position is partially filled with an inoculated, gum stabilized liquid milk fraction which is then incubated and subsequently refrigerated in a sterile environment to produce gum stabilized yogurt. A layer of fruit preserves is then added to the top of the yogurt which has sufficient gel strength to support it. A lid is then applied to the container, providing sundae-style yogurt having a fruit preserve topping immediately inside the lid. Techniques are also disclosed for inhibiting intermingling of fruit pre- serves with the liquid milk or yogurt fraction by providing a water insoluble, semi-solid edible barrier of hydrogenated animal fat or hydrogenated vegetable oil at the interface between the fruit preserves and the liquid milk or yogurt fraction.
