• Set 1/4 of the cookie chunks in a 10-inch pie plate. In a chilled bowl with chilled beaters whip the cream until semi stiff. Incorporate the sugar and beat until stiff; fold in the vanilla.
• Crumble a quarter of the cookies in a 10-inch pie plate. Spread a quarter of the whipped cream over the cookies.

Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours at least or, preferably overnight.

CHOCOLATE CAKE IN THE INSTANT POT®

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add sugar and butter to the pot; stir until butter melts, about 5 minutes. Add milk and cocoa powder. Whisk until smooth and starting to bubble, about 5 minutes. Remove pot and let chocolate mixture cool, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Pour 1/2 cup chocolate mixture into a small bowl. Reserve for drizzling over the cake.
• Whisk eggs, one at a time, into the remaining chocolate mixture in the pot. Add flour and baking soda; mix thoroughly.
• Return pot to the cooker. Close and lock lid. Select Cake function according to manufacturer's instructions. Set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Switch to Warm function after timer goes off. Set timer for 30 minutes.
• Unlock and remove lid; lift out pot. Run a knife around the sides of the pot to release cake. Place a serving plate on top. Invert cake onto the serving plate.
• Poke holes in the cake with a toothpick or sharp knife. Drizzle reserved chocolate mixture slowly over the cake, letting it absorb the chocolate.
