Stir in vanilla into whipped topping. In mixing bowl, combine
cookie crumbs and pecans; fold in whipped topping. Spread half
of cream mixture onto the bottom of an ungreased 9-in.

sherbet over cream layer. Layer with lime and raspberry
sherbets; spread with remaining cream mixture. Cover and freeze
