Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Line an 8-cup mold or mixing bowl completely with aluminum foil.

2. 2

   Working quickly, spread the vanilla ice cream 1 inch thick over the bottom and sides of the bowl. (It'll probably slide down the sides a bit.) Immediately place in the freezer and freeze for about 1 hour.

3. 3

   When the ice cream has become somewhat hard, but not frozen solid, spread it all the way up the sides to the top of the bowl; then replace it in the freezer for about 1 hour, until firm.

4. 4

   Place the raspberry sherbet in a medium-sized bowl and add the chocolate chips; blend until evenly mixed.

5. 5

   Place in the vanilla ice cream-lined bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight,or until completely hard.

6. 6

   When ready to serve, in a small bowl, mix the green food color with the whipped topping until evenly blended.

7. 7

   Remove the mold from the freezer, remove the plastic wrap, and invert onto a platter larger than the mold.

8. 8

   Remove the mold and peel off the foil.

9. 9

   Spread the whipped topping evenly over the ice cream and serve immediately, or freeze until the topping is firm, then cover and keep frozen until ready to serve.
