Cappuccino Ice-Cream Torte

Submitted by SweetDivaMJ

"I am gradually going through my collection and finding so many treasures and memories as I do! I made this so long ago - and I can remember it just like I made it last week! I made it for one of my DH's first Father's Days and everyone who had it raved over it. Cool, creamy cinnamon-laced vanilla ice cream, topped with a layer of crushed chocolate cookies, then topped with a layer of coffee ice cream. It couldn't be any easier to make, it's no bake, and it makes a lovely presentation! I think I can even taste it now.....Man, I've gotta make this again soon! **There's not a serving size on the recipe, so I'm guessing on that....you can also substitute 1 1/2 cups Cool Whip for the heavy whipping cream and 1 Tbsp. sugar."
