Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, dissolve 2 tbsp instant coffee granules in 2 tbsp hot water until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk with the cooled coffee mixture and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Step 3: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 2 cups heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the coffee mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until fully incorporated.
  5. Step 5: Melt 3 oz chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  6. Step 6: Pour half of the ice cream base into a loaf pan, drizzle half of the melted chocolate over it, then repeat with remaining ice cream and chocolate. Use a skewer to gently swirl the chocolate through the ice cream.
  7. Step 7: Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm before serving.
