Ingredients
- Ice Cream:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp. instant coffee or espresso powder
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions
-
Ice Cream:
- Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until coffee and sugar dissolve, about 2 minutes. Add chocolate chips and continue cooking until chocolate is melted and incorporated, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and vanilla.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl set over an ice bath. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until completely cool. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
-
Frozen Fudge:
- Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine all ingredients. Microwave until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir until marshmallows are melted and fudge is smooth. Pour into foil-lined bowl and place in the freezer.
- Transfer coffee mixture to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer’s instructions. During the last few churns, add almonds. Working quickly, place 1/3 of the ice cream in a container. Spoon bits of frozen fudge over top. Cover with another 1/3 of the ice cream and place more fudge bits over top. Repeat with remaining ice cream and fudge. Cover and freeze at east 3 hours or up to 1 week.
