Festive Ice Cream Roll

Carefully remove the packaging from ice cream, leaving ice cream in round shapes. Cut each round of ice cream crosswise into 6 slices. Quickly reassemble ice cream slices alternately with 13 of the cookies into 1 long roll on freezer-proof rectangular serving plate, placing 1 cookie in between ice cream slices and 1 cookie at each end of loaf. Freeze 1 hour.

Reserve 1/2 cup of the whipped topping for garnish. Mix remaining whipped topping with coconut, chocolate chips and food coloring (if desired); spread onto ice cream roll, completely covering ice cream with the whipped topping mixture.

Attach 1 cookie to each end of the ice cream roll. Carefully cut 5 of the remaining cookies in half; arrange along sides of roll. Freeze 1 hour or until firm.

Decorate with reserved whipped topping and sprinkles.

Cut crosswise to serve. Store in freezer.
