This version works because whipped cream creates lightness while sweetened condensed milk keeps everything smooth and prevents icy crystals from forming.

Ingredients
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt

- 1 12-ounce jar hot fudge sauce
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt.
- In a second bowl (preferably a chilled glass bowl) whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form (a hand mixer on medium-high speed will speed this up but it can be done by hand!).
- Gently fold heavy cream into the chocolate mixture.
- Pour half of the ice cream into a bread loaf pan.
- Drop half of the hot fudge sauce by spoonfuls onto the ice cream, gently swirl in with a knife a few times.
- Repeat with remaining ice cream and hot fudge sauce.
- Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 8 hours or overnight. Scoop and serve!
