Lining the side of the springform pan helps the cake come away from the pan better when you go to unmold it and results in cleaner layers, but it’s unnecessary if the pan is nonstick. Trim the parchment paper level with top of springform pan so you aren’t reaching down through a tunnel of paper to form the cake layers.

Chef's Tips

Instead of using a rubber spatula to level ice cream, place a sheet of plastic wrap on top of ice cream layer and use palms of your hands to flatten ice cream.

If second layer of ice cream starts to pull cookie layer from the first layer of ice cream, place springform pan back in freezer for 15 minutes before proceeding with second ice cream layer.
