Prepare the Base
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
Press into Pan
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish to form an even layer. Set aside.

Make Cream Cheese Mixture
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Add Heavy Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Spread Middle Layer
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust in the baking dish.

Prepare Chocolate Pudding
In a medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes until smooth and thickened.

Chill and Top
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to set. Before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.
