CARAMEL SWIRL CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM DESSERT

Steps:

• Combine whipping cream, condensed milk and vanilla in a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer. Whip together until medium peaks form. Add in the chopped chocolate and gently fold it in until evenly distributed.
• You can use your favorite caramel recipe or store-bought caramel. If using rum, pour it into the caramel and mix together until fully combined.
• Add half of your ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container. Drizzle half of the caramel over top and using a knife, swirl it through the ice cream. Pour the other half of the ice cream mixture over top and drizzle the remaining caramel over top. Again, use a knife to swirl it through the ice cream.
• Place in the freezer for at least 6 hours until firm. Remove from the freezer for about 10 minutes so that it softens enough to scoop.
