Adding cream thins lemon curd and makes it extra spoonable—delicious in more than just this dish.
Ingredients
Preparation
Cook eggs, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened (mixture should coat a spoon), 8–10 minutes.
Transfer mixture to a blender and blend on low speed, gradually adding butter, until mixture is smooth (you're not trying to aerate the mixture, so keep blender on low speed). Transfer lemon curd to a medium bowl, cover, and chill at least 2 hours.
Just before serving, whisk cream into lemon curd. Layer lemon cream and graham crackers in small glasses or bowls, finishing with graham crackers. Top with lemon zest and sea salt.
DO AHEAD: Lemon curd can be made 1 week ahead. Keep chilled.

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.
