1
Make Simple Syrup
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
2
Mix Cream and Milk
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, and 2 tsp of vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until it is well combined.

3
Melt Dark Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, place 4 oz of finely chopped dark chocolate. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
4
Combine Espresso
Prepare 1 cup of espresso or strong coffee and allow it to cool slightly. Once cooled, add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.

5
Combine Ingredients
In the mixing bowl with the cream and milk mixture, add the cooled simple syrup and melted dark chocolate. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
6
Incorporate Coffee
Slowly pour in the espresso or strong coffee into the mixture while stirring continuously until everything is well blended.
7
Chill and Serve
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once done, transfer to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
