📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place the graham crackers in a plastic bag, seal, and crush with a rolling pin or bottom of a heavy glass until you get crumbs (they don't need to be super fine - they should still have some texture.) Transfer them to a bowl with the melted butter; stir until combined and moist. Divide and gently press into 4 to 6 glass dessert cups (depending how big or small you want the servings to be) Chill.
2
In a large bowl, beat heavy cream with an electric mixer until it starts to thicken; slowly add in 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar. Continue to mix until thickened and stiff peaks form. (Do not overbeat or it will become overly thick and clumpy.) Transfer to a different bowl; set aside.
3
In the same bowl (no need to rinse out), beat the cream cheese until smooth, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Continue mixing and add in the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt. Beat until well combined and creamy.
