Containers are filled with a topping and a base food product that supports the topping by introducing through the opening of an inverted container a layer of food product that is supported by the inside surface of a removable lid of the container, then filling the interior of the inverted container with a base food product that is solidifiable and is different from the food product layer, sealing the opening of the container, maintaining the container in the inverted position until the base food product is sufficiently solidified to self-support the food product layer and positioning the sealed container in the upright position for the base food product to self-support the food product layer above it is a topping beneath the removable lid.

A process for filling a container with a base food product and a topping, comprising the steps of: providing a container having a removable lid which closes one end of the container and having an opening at the opposite end of the container for providing access to the interior of the container, the lid being removable from the exterior of the container to provide access to the interior of the container, the container being inverted so the removable lid is positioned at the bottom of the container with the opening foremost; introducing a food product through the opening of the inverted container to form a layer of the food product supported on the inside surface of the removable lid; introducing through the opening of the inverted container a base food product that is different from the food product layer to fill the interior of the inverted container with the base food product above said layer, the food product forming said layer having a higher specific gravity or a specific gravity about the same as the base food product, the base food product being capable of being sufficiently solidified that, upon subsequently positioning the container in an upright position with the lid foremost, the base food product in the bottom of the container self-supports the food product layer as a topping above it; sealing the opening in the container; maintaining the container in the inverted position until the base food product is sufficiently solidified to self-support the food product layer; and positioning the sealed container in the upright position for the base food product to self-support the food product layer above it as a topping beneath the removable lid.
