Prepare the graham cracker base by crushing the graham crackers and mixing with melted butter. Press into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.
Assemble the cake by layering half of the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker base, followed by another layer of graham crackers, and then the remaining cream cheese mixture.
Top with a final layer of graham crackers and pour cherry pie filling over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
