5. Mix lemon juice, lemon zest, and sugar of medium heat until boiling. Whisk egg and egg yolk.
6. Whisk lemon mixture into eggs off the heat (to temper). Add all back to sauce pan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened. Cool completely.
7. Use a melon baller to scoop a hole into tops of cooled cupcakes. Fill with cooled lemon curd.
8. Beat butter and cream cheese. Add limoncello and beat until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar until desired icing consistency is obtained.
9. Ice filled cupcakes. Garnish with lemon slices.
10. They are so pretty and so yummy! Especially to someone who enjoys lemon as much as I do!
11. A perfect summer treat!(and even though it's only March, since the weather has been between 70 - 85, I'm in full summer mode)
