In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the heavy cream to the mixture while continuing to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and lemon zest, and mix until fully incorporated.
Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
Arrange the strawberries in serving bowls or glasses.
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake cream onto the strawberries with a piping bag or ziplock bag with the tip cut off.
Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the top for added crunch and flavor.
Garnish with a mint leaf if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
