Black Bottom Pie

1/4 c Butter or margarine
1 1/2 c Chocolate cookie crumbs
3 tb Sugar
3 oz Pk vanilla pudding and pie filling (not instant)
1 1/2 c Milk
1 c Heavy cream, chilled
3 tb Creme de cocoa
2 tb Chocolate sprinkles

In a 9-inch, heat-resistant, non-metallic pie pan melt butter in Microwave Oven 1 minute. Combine cookie crumbs and sugar in a small bowl until well blended. Stir cookie mixture into butter. Press mixture onto bottom and sides of pie pan. Heat, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 2 minutes or until crust has a crunchy texture. Allow to cool while preparing filling. In a medium-sized, heat-resistant, non-metallic bowl empty package of pudding mix. Gradually stir in milk until smooth. Heat, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 2 minutes. Stir and heat an additional 3 1/2 minutes or until mixture boils. Stir occasionally. Place wax paper on top of pudding so that a skin does not form and chill in refrigerator. While pudding is chilling, whip cream. Stir 3 tablespoons creme de cocoa into pudding. Fold whipped cream into chilled pudding. Pour into prepared crust and chill 3 to 4 hours or until set. Garnish top with chocolate sprinkles.
