Cooking Steps
Before starting, gather your utensils. Heat a small pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter. Swirl to melt, 1 min. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and 1/8 tsp salt. Cook, stirring often, until crumbs are toasted, 3-4 min. Remove from heat and transfer to a small bowl. Carefully, wipe the pot clean.
Zest the lemon. Cream together the cream cheese, sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl, by hand or using an electric hand mixer, until combined and smooth, 1-2 min. Add the cream to the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Carefully whisk until just combined, then beat until stiff peaks form and mixture is smooth, 2-3 min.
Heat the same small pot over medium heat. Add the jam and 2 tbsp water. Whisk often, until jam has melted, 2-3 min. Remove from heat.
Divide half the graham cracker crumble between bowls or cups. Top with half the cream-cheese mixture, then half the jam topping. Repeat the steps with the remaining graham cracker crumble, cream-cheese mixture and jam topping. Set aside in the fridge for 30 min.
