PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an ice cream with a surface decoration by which the surface of cup ice cream can be patterned with a sauce. SOLUTION: Plastic cups are filled with ice cream by filling machines 6 and 7 while being transported by a transportation apparatus 1 and the surface of ice cream is evenly adjusted by a cup bottom beating machine 8. Then, a sauce sent from a sauce filling hopper 12 by force feed is dripped on the surface of the ice cream by a sauce dripping apparatus 9. The tip part of a thin linear material such as a pin attached to the bottom end part of the sauce dripping apparatus 9 is thrust into the upper layer part of the ice cream and moved so that the dripped sauce is deformed, for example, into a heart shape. Then, liquid nitrogen separated from a nitrogen gas-liquid separator 17 is blown in an atomized state to the surface of the heart-shaped sauce, and the surface of the sauce is hardened. A sheet lid is heat-sealed by sealing apparatuses 19 and 20. After the sealing, the sealed part is cooled by a spot cooler 21, the plastic cup is scooped up by a neck hanging guide 22 and sent to a cooling tunnel 23 and cooled.
