In a bowl, add softened cream cheese and sugar, mixing until creamy without lumps.

Add 1 tablespoon of Cool Whip to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.

In another bowl, add instant chocolate pudding and cold milk, beating for about 20 seconds until thick.

Add the remaining Cool Whip (after reserving 1 cup for the cream cheese mixture) to the pudding and mix until combined, creating a fluffy mousse.

Spread the cream cheese mixture into the chocolate cookie crust, covering the bottom and sides.

Dollop the chocolate pudding mixture on top of the cream cheese layer, smoothing it out.

Chill the pie in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 hours before serving.

Top with whipped cream before serving.
