Procedure

1. Heat milk and cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to simmer but don’t boil. Remove from the heat.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat 1 cup sugar and egg yolks until very thick and pale. Gradually add the hot cream mixture in a thin, steady stream while beating. Return to a fresh saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly for approximately 5 minutes or until mixture thickens. Remove from the heat.
3. In a heatproof bowl, place 100g of chocolate. Pour over ½ of the hot custard. Stir until the chocolate melts and the mixture turns smooth and well combined. Set aside to cool.
4. Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, place remaining sugar. Cook, stir occasionally for 4-5 minutes or until sugar is melted and caramelizes. Slowly stir in ¼ cup cold water and return mixture to heat. Again cook for 2 minutes or until toffee dissolves completely. Add to the remaining custard mixture and stir in salt.
5. Place caramel ice creams and chocolate into 2 separate airtight containers. Cover and freeze for 6 hours or until set.
6. Line a 6.5 cm deep, 7 cup capacity loaf pan with a plastic wrap, allowing the sides to overhang. Slowly transfer ½ of the caramel ice cream to a food processor and process until smooth. Spoon over the prepared pan, and level. Cover and freeze for 30 minutes or until just firm.
7. Transfer chocolate ice cream to the food processor. Process until smooth and spoon over caramel layer in the pan. Spread to level. Cover and freeze for half hour or until firm. Repeat the process with remaining caramel ice cream. Cover and freeze for four hours or until set.
8. In a saucepan, combine remaining chocolate, cream, and coffee over low heat. Cook, stirring until smooth and well combined. Let it stand for 10 -15 minutes. Turn out ice cream onto a serving plate. Top with raspberries or strawberries if desired and grated chocolate. Drizzle with sauce. Serve immediately.
