For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a hint of citrus zest (lemon or orange) to the ricotta mixture. If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought whipped topping instead of making your own whipped cream. Feel free to experiment with other toppings, such as a dusting of cocoa powder or a sprinkle of chopped almonds. Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth, lump-free filling.
