INSTANT POT COOKIES-AND-CREAM CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Cut a piece of parchment into a square whose edges fit the bottom of a 7-inch springform pan; allow the corners to bend upwards, as they will help you remove the cheesecake. Coat the pan with nonstick spray and line with the parchment. Put 13 cookies and the salt in a food processor and pulse until the cookies are broken down into fine crumbs. Add the butter and pulse until completely combined (the texture will be similar to wet sand). Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the springform pan.
• Add the cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, vanilla and eggs to the food processor. Process until completely smooth, opening the lid and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Crumble 5 cookies into the food processor and pulse until they are combined but not completely pulverized. Pour the mixture over the crust.
• Tear off a large piece of aluminum foil (about 1 1/2-feet long) and put the springform pan in the center. Wrap the foil tightly around the bottom of the pan, folding down the sides as needed so the top of the pan isn't covered.
• Pour 2 cups water in the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Invert the rack and position the springform pan so that it rests on the rack's feet, then pick up both sides of the rack and bring them up the sides of the pan. Carefully lower the rack into the pot. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 35 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• After the pressure cook cycle is complete, turn off the heat and let the steam release naturally for 25 minutes. Follow the manufacturer's guide for steam release and allow any residual steam to air out. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid. Carefully use the rack handle to lift out the cheesecake and set it over a cooling rack. Remove the foil from around the pan, then use paper towels to blot off any excess liquid from the top and sides of the cheesecake. Use a small offset spatula or the tip of a paring knife to loosen the sides of the cheesecake from the pan. Allow to sit at room temperature until mostly cooled, about 1 hour. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Remove the plastic wrap from the cheesecake and use a small offset spatula or the tip of a paring knife to again loosen the sides of the cheesecake from the pan. Remove the outer ring from the pan and set the cheesecake aside.
• Bring 3 cups water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Set a medium heatproof bowl over the top, then add the chocolate and let melt, stirring occasionally, until completely melted, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a liquid measuring cup and let cool, 15 minutes. Meanwhile, pulse the remaining 4 cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Set aside until ready to use.
• Set the chilled cheesecake on a serving plate or cake stand and pour the melted chocolate on top. Spread evenly with an offset spatula, allowing some of the excess to drip down the sides. Let the chocolate set for 5 minutes, then sprinkle the cookie crumbs in a crescent moon shape over the top of the cake (it's okay if some of the crumbs land on the platter). Let the chocolate set at room temperature, 1 hour, then serve.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda, then set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of the vanilla extract and the eggs and blend until incorporated. Lower the speed to a stir, add the flour and mix until just combined. Then stir in 2 cups of the chocolate chips until incorporated.
• Drop the dough in teaspoon-size balls 2-inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies are golden and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool the cookies for 5 minutes in the pan and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Whip the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon vanilla until medium peaks form. Place about 1/4 cup of the whipped cream in a 9-inch circle on a cake plate and then cover the whipped cream with some cookies. Layer 1 cup whipped cream over the cookies and arrange another layer of cookies over the top. Repeat the layers three more times, finishing with a layer of cream. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips over the top. Refrigerate the cake until the cookies soften, at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Slice into wedges to serve.

ICEBOX OREO CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, process the cookies and butter until finely ground. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
• Heat 3/4 cup of the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat just until simmering. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks, flour, and remaining milk in a a large bowl until smooth. Slowly whisk the hot milk into the yolk mixture to temper the yolks. Return the entire mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until very thick and glossy, 1 to 2 minutes. Off heat, whisk in the white chocolate until melted. Transfer the pudding to a bowl and press a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface. Refrigerate until cold and set, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
• With a stand mixer or a hand held mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and salt on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium-low and mix in the chilled pudding until just combined, about 30 seconds. Pour one-quarter of the cream cheese mixture evenly into the chilled crust and sprinkle one-third of the broken cookies over the surface. Repeat the process twice, then top with the remaining filling. Refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours or overnight. (Cheesecake can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 3 days.).
• In a chilled bowl, whisk together the cream and sugar until soft peaks form. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star-tip and pipe rosettes around the edge of the cake. Garnish with the mini cookies; slice and serve. Enjoy!
