Adding cream thins lemon curd and makes it extra spoonable—delicious in more than just this dish.

The tart layer in this easy dessert—made by enriching lemon curd with heavy cream— is so good, you'll want to make it the base of other sweets, too. A few suggestions:

Cake: Slather cream on a slice of vanilla pound cake at teatime (or snack time).

Tart: Chill, then spoon into a prebaked tart shell, garnish with whipped mascarpone, and you've instantly got lemon cream pie.

Fruit and Cream: Layer in bowls with fresh fruit. Finish with a bit of raw sugar.
