Prepare Crust
- In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set.

Make Filling
- In a large bowl, beat softened mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Add the zest and juice of the lemons and mix until combined.

- In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to medium-stiff peaks. Gradually fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture gently. If using, fold in Limoncello liqueur.

Assemble and Chill
- Spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Prepare Topping
- Just before serving, whip cold heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe over the chilled cake.

Garnish and Serve
- Decorate with lemon slices or extra lemon zest. Slice and serve cold.
