Layer bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with 1 1/4 cups of the macaroon crumbs. Spread the chocolate ice cream evenly over the crumbs. Sprinkle 4 of the crushed Heath bars over the ice cream. Dribble with 3 tablespoons of the chocolate syrup and 2 tablespoons of the coffee liqueur. Cover with remaining 1 cup macaroons. Layer the vanilla ice cream over the macaroons.
