Add the flour and cocoa and continue beating until combined. Press the dough into a 9x13 inch baking pan with your hand until it is of uniform depth across the bottom of the pan. Baje for 20 minutes. Make the filling while the crust is baking.

Spread the filling over the hot crust. Bake for another 30 minutes or until the center of the filling is just firm. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Spread the pie filling over the cream cheese filling after it has cooled.
