While cranberries cool…mix mascarpone and ricotta in a food processor until smooth for about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon curd and lemon juice.

In a small bowl, beat heavy cream on medium for 1 minute. Add powdered sugar, increase speed to high, and continue to beat just until stiff peaks forms. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone until well combined.
