Instructions
  1. Prepare Candied Citrus Peel: Combine Water and Granulated Sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add Meyer Lemon peel and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until peel is translucent. Drain and cool completely. Finely chop.
  2. Drain the Ricotta Cheese in a cheesecloth-lined sieve for at least 1 hour to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine all Filling ingredients.
  4. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until very smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the filling to firm up.
