2. Dissolve Gelatin: In a mixing bowl, dissolve the orange-flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

3. Incorporate Ice Cream: Once the gelatin is fully dissolved, add in the vanilla ice cream. Stir the mixture until the ice cream is completely melted and incorporated into the gelatin mixture.

4. Thicken (if needed): If the mixture seems too runny, refrigerate it for about 5 minutes or until it is lightly thickened. This step ensures the parfait layers will hold together nicely.

5. Layering: In parfait glasses or dessert dishes, begin layering the gelatin mixture and the chopped cookies alternately. Start with a layer of the gelatin mixture, followed by a layer of the chopped cookies, and continue until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of the gelatin mixture on top.

6. Chilling: Place the prepared parfaits in the refrigerator and chill them for at least 2 hours, or until they are firm. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and for the parfaits to set properly.

7. Garnish and Serve: Once chilled, remove the parfaits from the refrigerator and garnish each with a dollop of Cool Whip whipped topping. For an extra touch, place a whole vanilla cream-filled cookie on top of each parfait as a garnish.

8. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing and delightful taste of these Orange Cream Parfaits!
