1. To prepare the filling, beat mascarpone, cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, lemon rind, and vanilla and lemon extracts in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Fold in whipped cream.
2. To prepare the curd, whisk eggs, lemon juice and sugar in a stainless steel bowl over a pot of simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, 10 minutes or until thick. Remove from heat and if necessary strain to remove any lumps. Whisk in butter and lemon rind; cover with plastic wrap and cool to room temperature.
3. To prepare the crumbs, place cookies in a food processor; pulse to make fine crumbs.
4. Layer curd, crumbs and filling in 12 (4-ounce) parfait glasses, using about twice as much filling as curd; repeat layers. Serves 12.
Note: To prepare this pudding in a soufflé dish, melt 1⁄4 cup butter and add to cookie crumbs. Press mixture into the bottom of a 2-quart soufflé dish. Bake 10 minutes in a 350F oven. Cool. Spoon prepared filling over crust, smooth top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until cold. Spread room temperature curd over top of filling.
