In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, instant coffee granules, and salt until the sugar is completely dissolved. Ensure no granules remain for the smoothest texture. (5 minutes)

Stir in the heavy cream until well combined. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to chill thoroughly. (4 hours - overnight)

Use a chopstick or a butter knife to gently swirl the caramel sauce into the ice cream, creating ribbons of caramel throughout. Be careful not to overmix. (2 minutes)

Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming. Seal the container with a lid and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow the ice cream to ripen and harden. For the best flavor and texture, freeze overnight. (2 hours - overnight)

Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce, if desired, and enjoy!
For an even richer coffee flavor, use espresso powder instead of instant coffee granules.
High-quality caramel sauce makes a noticeable difference in the final product. Look for a sauce made with real butter and vanilla.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can try the 'no-churn' method: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 30 minutes. Then, whisk vigorously to break up any ice crystals. Repeat every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours, or until the ice cream is frozen but still scoopable.
Adjust the amount of caramel sauce to your preference. Some people prefer a more subtle caramel flavor, while others like a generous swirl.
For a boozy twist, add a tablespoon or two of coffee liqueur or bourbon to the mixture before churning.
