In a medium-sized bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop until fully liquified.
Add the graham cracker crumbs to the melted butter and mix until well combined.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Once bloomed, heat gently in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix to combine.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
Slowly pour the dissolved gelatin into the cream cheese mixture, stirring continuously to incorporate evenly.
Pour the creamy filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, chill overnight.
When ready to serve, release the springform pan and slice into portions. Optional: garnish with fresh berries or mint leaves for a decorative touch.
