To make the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a large basin. Continue to mix until the crumbs have an equal coating.

Form the crust by pressing the mixture firmly onto the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish; chill the dish while you make the cream cheese filling.

In a large basin, whisk the softened cream cheese until velvety and smooth. After that, add the vanilla essence and powdered sugar, and continue to whisk the mixture until everything is incorporated.

After gently folding the whipped cream into the cream cheese filling until it is completely integrated, spread the filling over the graham cracker crust in a uniform layer.
