Black Forest Icebox Cookies

Keep these on hand for company; they can be made ahead and stored in the freezer for up to two weeks. Work quickly when assembling them because the ice cream becomes difficult to handle as it melts. If this happens, return the ice cream to the freezer for 10 minutes before continuing. We preferred chocolate ice cream, but vanilla is nice, too. Make some of each. You also could use multicolored sprinkles instead of chocolate.
