In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or whisk.
Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream to the mixture. Whip until fluffy and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
Layer 1 teaspoon of graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of four shot glasses or small dessert cups.
Follow by adding a layer of the cream cheese mixture, approximately 1 tablespoon in each glass, using a piping bag or spoon for precision.
Add 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese layer in each glass.
Top each shot with a swirl or dollop of whipped cream.
Garnish with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs or a single cherry (optional).
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for a firmer texture.
