Made this after a barbeque during our recent heat wave. Lemon flavors were delicious and refreshing. Didn't have heavy cream on hand so I substituted half as much 1/2 and 1/2. Texture was fine. Also, used the individual sponge cakes so we were able to make fresh servings again the following day. My family loved it and I will make this again.

I used this recipe as inspiration and made something really yummy! I used hazlenut coffee liqueur instead of lemon. Then, I mixed Nutella into the cheese and cream in place of the lemon curd. It used a lot more than a 1/3 cup for the flavor to come through. Almost the whole 13oz jar. Lastly, I topped with chocolate chips! I thought raspberries would be good, also. Or almost anything really.
I used four mini tarts that I found next to the strawberries, and I think adding so much Nutella made much more filling than intended. I should have bought more tarts.
Very delish!

I made this for a dinner party, and the guests enjoyed it. I don't like sponge shells, so I made a crumb crust using a box and a half of ginger creme cookies and 3T. melted butter, then patted it into an 11" tart shell with a removable bottom. Baked the crust for 5 min. Cooled completely, then spread in the delicious filling, and topped with fresh raspberries. I used 8 oz.of lemon curd, 8 oz of mascarpone, and 8 oz. of cream, that I whipped and folded into the other ingredients. The Limoncello and lemon zest give it a nice fresh flavor. This isn't as dense as a cheesecake, and can be topped with a variety of fruits. Very nice finish for a summer meal.
