- Remove tart case from oven and reduce oven to 160˚c.
- Meanwhile, process the cream cheese, ricotta, yoghurt, sugar, honey, lemon rind and vanilla bean seeds in a food processor until smooth, scrape down sides of bowl, add eggs and process to just combine. (don’t over-process).
- Pour into tart case and bake for 15-20 minutes until set with a slight wobble in the centre.
