Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla for a richer flavor. If you don't have walnuts, pecans work beautifully as a substitute. Make sure to let the ice cream soften slightly before spreading to avoid breaking the cookie layer. If you're short on time, you can use store-bought whipped topping instead of Cool Whip.
