Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine whole milk, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, light corn syrup, and salt. Heat until simmering for 5–7 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in chopped semi-sweet chocolate until melted.
  3. Whisk egg yolks in a separate bowl. Gradually add warm milk mixture while whisking to temper.
  4. Pour tempered egg yolk mixture back into saucepan. Cook while stirring for 8-10 minutes until thickened.
  5. Strain the custard through a sieve into a bowl. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.
  6. Churn in an ice cream maker according to instructions until soft-serve consistency is reached.
  7. Gently fold in remaining chopped semi-sweet chocolate.
  8. Warm marshmallow fluff in microwave for 15-20 seconds. Layer half of ice cream with marshmallow fluff and caramel (if using) in a loaf pan.
  9. Freeze for 6 to 8 hours until firm.
