#808080;\">It\u2019s creamy, light, lemony, sweet and tart, and perfect for a special occasion, night in, movie night, game night, party, or midnight snack. \u00a0It\u2019s so easy to make, too, which means you have to make it often\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">This is what I mean by easy: you take lemon curd and mix in mascarpone cheese. \u00a0That\u2019s it. \u00a0You can buy lemon curd at the store, but it\u2019s so easy to make, you should just make it. \u00a0It only takes a few minutes, and homemade lemon curd tastes so much better than the store-bought version. \u00a0I\u2019ve made lemon curd on the stove before, but when I found out you can make it in your microwave, I was curious. \u00a0When my friend Jamie from My Baking Addiction posted <span style=\"color: #ff6699;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mybakingaddiction.com\/fundamentals-simple-microwave-lemon-curd\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color:
