2 cups (packed) dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
6 tablespoons dark corn syrup
18 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 whole cinnamon graham crackers, coarsely broken
2 cups whole almonds, toasted
1 cup coarsely chopped English toffee candy bars (such as Skor or Heath)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, warm
4 pints coffee ice cream, softened slightly

1
Combine all ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and butter melts, about 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Boil sauce without stirring until thick enough to coat spoon or attach candy thermometer and boil until thermometer registers 224u00b0F, about 7 minutes. Strain sauce into medium bowl. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cool, cover, and chill. Rewarm before using.)
2
Bring cream and corn syrup to simmer in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat. Add chocolate, espresso powder, and cinnamon. Whisk until chocolate melts and sauce is smooth. Cool.
3
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Finely grind first 4 ingredients in processor. Add warm butter. Using on/off turns, blend just until crumbs are evenly moist. Firmly press half of crust mixture (about 3 cups) over bottom of 10-inch springform pan; press remaining crumb mixture up sides of pan. Freeze crust 10 minutes. Bake crust until slightly golden, about 14 minutes. Cool crust completely.
4
Spread 1/3 of ice cream (about 1 2/3 cups) evenly over bottom of crust. Spread 1 cup fudge sauce over. Freeze 10 minutes. Spread 1/3 of ice cream, then 1 cup fudge sauce over. Freeze 10 minutes. Spread remaining ice cream over. Drizzle with remaining fudge sauce. Freeze torte until firm, about 2 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and keep frozen.)
5
Let torte stand 10 minutes at room temperature. Cut around pan sides to loosen. Remove pan sides. Cut torte into wedges. Serve with warm vanilla caramel sauce.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
