  • Use a variety of cookies: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cookies. You could use chocolate chip cookies, graham crackers, or even vanilla wafers.
  • Make sure your ice cream is softened: If your ice cream is too hard, it will be difficult to spread between the layers of cookies.
  • Chill your icebox cake for at least 4 hours: This will allow the ice cream to firm up and the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve your icebox cake with your favorite toppings: You could use whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or even fresh fruit.
