### Instructions:

1. **Beat the cream cheese**: In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

2. **Add lemon and sweetener**: Add lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and powdered sweetener. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

3. **Whip the cream**: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

4. **Fold and fluff**: Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon-cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the mousse.

5. **Chill and serve**: Spoon the mousse into individual dessert cups or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours before serving. Top with extra lemon zest or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
