Prepare the lemon curd: In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together eggs, sugar, and lemon juice until thickened (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat, stir in butter and lemon zest, then cool in the fridge.
Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in mascarpone until just combined.
Quickly dip savoiardi cookies into lemon juice mixed with water and layer them in your serving dish.

Repeat layers with remaining cookies, curd, and mascarpone. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
