In a food processor, crumble the graham crackers into fine crumbs.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, then mix it with the graham cracker crumbs until well combined.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch baking pan or individual serving glasses to create the dessert base. Chill this in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture along with the vanilla extract. Set this aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine half the raspberries, lemon juice, and honey. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the raspberries break down and create a sauce. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker base or divide it equally into the serving glasses.
Drizzle the raspberry sauce over the cream layer and top with the remaining fresh raspberries for garnish.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to let the layers set.
