In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, and granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Continue mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk the powdered sugar with a tablespoon of water to create a smooth glaze. Adjust consistency as needed.
Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly into small dessert cups or glasses, filling each one about 3/4 full.
Drizzle the powdered sugar glaze over the top of each cheesecake cup.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set.
Before serving, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top for added texture and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
