In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the beater attachment, beat the cream cheese until smooth; add the powdered sugar; beat until smooth.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add 1 c. heavy cream; beat on low speed until smooth. Add the remaining 2 c. heavy cream; beat at medium to medium-high speed until soft peaks form, increasing the speed as the mixture begins to thicken. Fold in the vanilla and lemon zest.
Spoon 1/4 c. cream mixture into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish/pan, spreading into a thin, even layer.
Top mixture with the graham crackers in a single, even layer, breaking crackers to fit, if necessary. Spread about 1 1/2 c. cream mixture over the graham crackers in an even layer. Top this cream mixture with an even layer of strawberries, about 1 1/2 c. Sprinkle on 1/4 c. almonds, if using.
Repeat one more time. Top with a final layer of graham crackers, cream mixture, and strawberries.
Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
8-10 servings.
