## Instructions

1. First, prepare the lemon curd. Add the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and cream to a bowl and whisk to combine.
2. Pour the lemon juice into a pan and bring it to a simmer.
3. Add a little bit of the hot lemon juice to the egg mixture while whisking to temper the eggs.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the remaining lemon juice.
5. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the curd thickens.
6. Pass the lemon curd through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl.
7. Stir in the butter until melted.
8. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
9. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate until needed.
10. To make the mascarpone mixture, combine the egg yolks, lemon zest, and sugar in a bowl and whisk until pale and creamy.
11. Add the mascarpone cheese and whisk until smooth.
12. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
13. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until just combined.
14. To prepare the limoncello soak, combine limoncello, lemon juice, and water in a shallow dish.
15. Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the limoncello soak, ensuring they are coated but not soggy. Place a single layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a serving dish.
16. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
17. Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers.
18. Spread the remaining mascarpone cream over the second layer of ladyfingers.
