Do not use a food processor to chop the citron—it could make it too fine, and its flavor is more intense with slightly larger bits.

Ingredients

  • 1 carton (15 ounces) whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped candied citron
  • 1 tablespoon grated lime zest
  • optional: mini ice cream sugar cones, mini chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Beat together first 5 ingredients. If desired, scoop or pipe ricotta mixture into mini cones and sprinkle with chocolate chips and additional lime zest.
