Wrap the outside of a 9-or 10-inch springform pan with foil. Sprinkle
one-third of the chopped cookies in the bottom of the pan. Top with
half of the ice cream and half of the chocolate sauce. Combine
remaining chopped cookies and nut mixture. Sprinkle half of the cookie-
nut mixture over the chocolate sauce. If desired, set aside 2
tablespoons of the remaining chocolate sauce for garnish. Layer
