Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Syrup (Make Ahead & Chill)In a small skillet over medium heat, whisk together water, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt.Continue whisking for 2-3 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the cocoa powder is fully incorporated.Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. Step 2: Whip the CreamIn a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream on high speed until it becomes light and fluffy.Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure all the cream is evenly whipped. Set aside. Step 3: Combine the Ice Cream BaseIn a separate bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.Gently fold in a small amount of the whipped cream to lighten the mixture. Do not overmix.Add the remaining whipped cream and fold it in gently until fully combined. Step 4: Assemble the Ice CreamPour half of the ice cream mixture into a 9”x5” loaf pan and spread evenly.Drizzle half of the chilled chocolate syrup and sprinkle ⅓ cup of toffee bits over the top.Spoon the remaining ice cream mixture on top and smooth it out.Repeat with the remaining chocolate syrup and toffee bits. Step 5: Swirl & FreezeInsert a butter knife into the pan and swirl it through the mixture to create ribbons of chocolate and toffee throughout.Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it gently on the surface to prevent air pockets.Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm. Step 6: Serve & EnjoyRemove from freezer 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.Scoop into bowls and top with extra chocolate syrup and toffee bits, if desired.Enjoy this rich, creamy, no-churn treat!
