- Place the assembled cake in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to ensure it is fully set.
- Once the cake is set, remove it from the freezer. Spread whipped topping over the top and sides of the cake.
- Drizzle chocolate sauce over the cake, then sprinkle with crushed cookies. Add additional toppings like fresh fruit or sprinkles if desired.
- Allow the cake to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing. Serve slices with extra chocolate sauce or whipped topping.
- Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
