6. Drizzle the nuts with half of the melted chocolate mixture and top with half of the chopped cookies, pressing them into the chocolate.
7. Freeze for 30 minutes or until firm.
8. Remove the raspberry sorbet from the freezer to soften slightly. Carefully spread the sorbet over the surface pan ingredients, sprinkle with 1/3 cup nuts, and drizzle with the remaining melted chocolate.
9. Freeze for 30 minutes or until firm.
10. Soften the remaining pint of vanilla ice and spread over the surface of the chocolate layer, drizzle with remaining chopped cookies.
11. Cover the surface with the plastic wrap and then cover with aluminum foil. Chill at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
