Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping. Spread evenly over pecan layer.

Notes
You can use crushed cookies or a brownie base in place of graham crackers. Make a day ahead for the best set and flavor. Store in fridge for up to 4 days.
