How to Make the Easiest Lemon Curd

1. In a microwave-safe, medium-sized mixing bowl, add the lemon juice, lemon zest, egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch. Whisk together until well combined.
2. Cook for 5 minutes in the microwave, stirring every 2 minutes. The lemon curd should be bubbling and thick.
3. Add butter and stir until melted.
4. Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the lemon curd to prevent a “skin” from forming and let the lemon curd sit and cool to room tempreture.

How to Make Lemon Cheesecake Fruit Dip

1. Whip the cream.  In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl using a hand mixer), add the heavy whipping cream and whip until soft peaks form.  Transfer to another mixing bowl and set aside.
2. Cream the cheesecake mixture.  Add the room temperature cream cheese, lemon juice and vanilla into the stand mixer bowl and cream using the paddle attachment until the mixture is light and fluffy.  Add the powdered sugar and mix on low to combine, then increase speed and mix until light and fluffy again.
3. Fold in the whipped cream.  Turn off the mixer and carefully fold in the whipped cream using a rubber spatula, mixing until no streaks remain.
4. Serve or store.  Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve, or serve immediately with fruit, fruit kabobs, graham crackers or on crepes. Enjoy!
