1. Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper on the bottom and sides for easy removal.
2. In a large bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until fully coated and the texture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Use the bottom of a glass to press the crust down firmly. Place the pan in the freezer to set for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften for about 5 minutes. Spread the softened vanilla ice cream in an even layer over the chilled crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula. Freeze for 1 hour or until firm.
5. Remove the raspberry sorbet from the freezer and let it soften for about 5 minutes. Spread the softened sorbet evenly over the vanilla ice cream layer. Smooth the surface with a spatula. Freeze for another hour or until solid.
6. Once the layers are set, carefully remove the cake from the springform pan. Transfer it to a serving platter.
7. Decorate the top of the cake with fresh raspberries and dust with powdered sugar. Add whipped cream swirls around the edges if desired.
8. Slice and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer, tightly wrapped, for up to a week.
