Abstract
Systems and methods for preparing and dispensing food contents, typically molten chocolate. In one aspect, a method for treating chocolate includes placing a quantity of chocolate defining a chocolate surface in a vacuum chamber, heating the quantity of chocolate to a temperature sufficient to substantially liquefy the quantity of chocolate, decreasing the pressure of the vacuum chamber to a predetermined pressure, wherein the chocolate surface is subjected to a partial vacuum and wherein substantially all trapped gases are outgassed from the quantity of chocolate, holding the pressure of the vacuum chamber at the predetermined pressure for a predetermined period of time, and increasing the pressure of the vacuum chamber to room pressure. The chocolate comprises cacao, cacao butter, and sugar. During treatment, the temperature of the chocolate is maintained sufficiently high to maintain the chocolate as a liquid.
