Ingredients

Lemon Curd

Mascarpone Cream

Instructions

Lemon Curd

  • Whisk eggs and sweeteners in a large microwave safe bowl. Add lemon juice and zest and whisk until combined. Drop squares of butter on top.
  • Microwave in 1 to 2-minute bursts, whisking in between until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot. If you don't want to use the microwave you can add the ingredients to a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat on the stove top until thickened. 
  • Microwave in 30 second bursts until mixture is thickened. Whisk the cream in at the end.
  • Place in a bowl with cling wrap on the surface to avoid forming a skin, and chill until you are ready to use. The curd will thicken more as it cools.

Mascarpone Cream

  • To make the mascarpone cream, add it to medium-sized bowl, and use a hand electric mixer or a whisk attachment with a stand mixer to beat the mascarpone, sweetener and vanilla together until they are smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetener if needed.
  • Whisk the cream through the mascarpone until softly combined.

Assembly

  • Layer the curd, mascarpone and fresh blueberries in decorative glasses or pots.
    Garnish with an optional ingredient of fresh berries, or other fresh fruit, fresh herbs, or lemon zest to serve. This can be enjoyed cold from the fridge or room temperature.
