In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and mix until fully combined and smooth.
In a separate mixing bowl, use a whisk or hand mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. This creates the cheesecake layer.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix until thickened (about 2 minutes).
Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until evenly coated.
To assemble, divide the graham cracker crumb mixture evenly among serving glasses or bowls and press it down gently to form a crust layer.
Spoon a layer of the cheesecake mixture over the crust in each serving dish.
Top with the vanilla pudding layer and smooth it out with the back of a spoon.
If desired, garnish with fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings.
Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set.
