Coffee Mocha Ice Cream Cake image

I found this recipe in Bon Appetit (August 2000). I was looking for an ice cream cake that included coffee ice cream and soothed my chocolate craving. This is it!! **Alternative: double the crushed cookies and add the layer between the ice cream and chocolate topping Yummy!**
