Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, 2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 1 tsp vanilla bean seeds until fully combined.

  3. Step 3: Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture in three additions, stirring carefully to keep the mixture airy.
  4. Step 4: Pour half of the ice cream mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle 1/4 cup chocolate fudge sauce evenly over the mixture, then gently swirl with a butter knife.
  6. Step 6: Add the remaining ice cream mixture on top and repeat drizzling the remaining 1/4 cup fudge sauce and swirling.
  7. Step 7: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Step 8: Scoop and serve chilled.
