Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, place the crackers in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy. This is your cheesecake filling.
In another bowl, gently mash 1 cup of raspberries with the granulated sugar, leaving some larger pieces for texture. Set aside the other 1 cup of whole raspberries for layering.
To assemble the parfaits, spoon a layer of graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of each serving glass or jar, using about 2 tablespoons per glass.
Add a layer of cheesecake filling over the crumbs, using about 3 tablespoons per glass. Spread it gently to create an even layer.
Spoon a layer of the mashed raspberries over the cheesecake filling layer, followed by a few whole raspberries for texture.
Repeat the layers (graham cracker crumbs, cheesecake filling, raspberries) until the glasses are full, finishing with whole raspberries or a garnish of your choice on top.
Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
