Ingredients: For For Chocolate Fudge Sauce:; ⅓ cup + 2 tsp heavy cream (90 g); 1 tbsp unsalted butter (14 g); 2 tbsp white sugar; ½ tbsp brown sugar; ½ cup chopped dark chocolate (50–55%) (90 g); ⅛ tsp fine salt; ¾ tsp vanilla extract (3 g); 1 tsp honey (optional, 7 g); For For Ice Cream Base:; 2 cups heavy cream (500 ml); 1 can sweetened condensed milk (400 g, start with less and adjust to taste); 1 tsp vanilla essence Crushed cookies & cream biscuits (as needed)

Step by step method

Step 1

Make Fudge Sauce In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and honey. Heat over medium flame, stirring until sugars dissolve and the mixture begins to simmer. Turn off heat, add chopped chocolate and salt. Let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth and glossy. Stir in vanilla extract. Let sauce cool slightly (it thickens as it cools).

Step 2

Make Ice Cream Base In a large mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until medium to stiff peaks form. Gently fold in condensed milk and vanilla essence without deflating the cream. Add crushed cookies and fold lightly.

Step 3

Assemble Ice Cream In a freezer-safe container, spread a layer of ice cream mixture. Drizzle fudge sauce and swirl gently with a knife. Repeat layers (ice cream → fudge sauce → swirl). Finish with a top layer of ice cream, extra fudge sauce, and crushed cookies.

Step 4

Freeze Cover directly with plastic wrap (to prevent ice crystals). Freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight before serving.
