In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Add melted butter and mix until evenly moistened.
Step 3
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even crust.

To make the whipped topping, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the whipping cream and powdered sugar in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form.
