Crush 2 sheets of graham crackers into fine crumbs and set aside for garnish.
In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped walnuts to coat them. Set aside to cool.
In a 9x9-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of whole graham crackers, breaking them as needed to fit the dish.
Spread 1/3 of the whipped cream evenly over the graham crackers. Drizzle 1/4 of the caramel sauce over the whipped cream and sprinkle with 1/3 of the walnut mixture.
Repeat the layering process two more times: graham crackers, whipped cream, caramel sauce, and walnuts.
Top the final layer with a drizzle of the remaining caramel sauce, the reserved graham cracker crumbs, and any leftover walnut mixture for garnish.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld.
Slice and serve chilled.
