Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust, pressing firmly along the bottom and up the sides.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool completely.
In a small bowl, dissolve gelatin powder in warm water. Mix well and set aside to cool slightly.
Using a hand mixer, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and cooled gelatin mixture to the cream cheese mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Spread half of the cream filling evenly across the cooled pie crust.
Layer fresh grapes over the cream filling in an even layer.
Spread the remaining cream filling over the grapes, ensuring they are fully covered.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
Before serving, garnish with extra grapes or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
