In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture looks like wet sand and holds together when pressed.
Spoon the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each dessert cup. Gently press it down to create an even crust.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and French vanilla pudding mix. Mix until everything is well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until smooth and combined.
Spoon or pipe a layer of the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust in each cup.
Add a layer of crushed vanilla wafer cookies.
Add another layer of cheesecake filling over the cookies.
Top each cup with a few additional vanilla wafers for a simple and pretty finish.
Refrigerate the cheesecake cups for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is fully set and firm.
