Mix crumbs and butter together and press into a 11” pie tin

Preheat oven to 290

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth

Add sugar, cocoa, and vanilla extract

Mix until blended. Mixture will be thick. Add one egg at a time. Stir in chocolate chips

Pour into the chocolate cookie crust you prepared. Leave about one inch of space. If your pie tin is smaller than 11”, you may have filling left over!

Put in the oven and bake until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes

Let cool completely before putting the pie together

Put the chocolate pudding mix and milk in a saucepan and cook over medium high heat, stirring continuously until pudding is thick and boils in the middle

Pour into a container and refrigerate until cooled and set

When everything is cool, layer the pie! Mound chocolate pudding on top of crust and top with whipped cream or topping, piping it around the edge

Drizzle chocolate in straight lines in the middle of pie, if desired

Sprinkle shaved chocolate on top
