Start by prepping the glass. Pour the graham cracker crumbs onto a small plate. Wet the rim of a martini glass with water or a touch of vodka, then dip the rim into the graham cracker crumbs, ensuring it is evenly coated. Set the glass aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla vodka, Irish cream liqueur, cream cheese, half and half, and powdered sugar.
Fill the shaker with ice cubes and close the lid tightly.
Shake vigorously for about 20-30 seconds, ensuring the cream cheese fully incorporates into the mixture for a smooth and creamy texture.
Strain the cocktail into your prepared martini glass.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a fresh strawberry or cherry on the rim of the glass (optional).
Serve immediately and enjoy this decadent dessert cocktail!
