In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until crumbly and set aside.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well.

Fold in whipped topping until creamy and fluffy.

Assemble parfaits in clear cups: layer crumbs, cheesecake filling, and cherry topping. Repeat layers if desired.

Top with extra crumbs and garnish with a fresh cherry. Chill until ready to serve.

Use softened cream cheese for smooth filling. Assemble just before serving for best texture. Chill at least 30 minutes before serving.
