Meanwhile, whip heavy cream in a medium mixing bowl until soft peaks form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add in 1\/3 cup of the powdered sugar, tint with yellow food coloring if desired and whip until stiff (but not lumpy) peaks form (shake cream from beaters, no need to clean).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a separate large mixing bowl whip cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Mix lemon curd and remaining 2\/3 cup powdered sugar into cream cheese mixture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heat rested gelatin mixture in the microwave on high power for 30 seconds. Whisk for 1 minute to thoroughly dissolve gelatin, then let cool 3 minutes (no longer or it may start to set then you could end up with little lumps in the mousse).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While mixing cream cheese mixture with hand mixer, slowly pour in gelatin mixture then blend until thoroughly combined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gently fold 1\/3 of the whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture to lighten, then add remaining whipped cream and gently fold until combined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spoon or pipe mixture into dessert cups over graham cracker layer. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours (or up to 1 day ahead if desired) to set. Garnish as desired.
