3 lbs. ricotta cheese
Mix the first 4 ingredients in food processor. Fold in citron and chocolate chips.
Grease 10" springform pan well and bake in 350°F oven for 1 hour. Turn oven off and leave in oven about 1/2 hour or until cake is set. Cool completely at room temperature before removing from pan.
LOW-FAT VERSION: Use low-fat or nonfat cheese and 6 to 7 whole eggs and the rest egg whites. I have even used 3 eggs and 10 egg whites. After cake is set, carefully pour off extra liquid caused by the lower fat cheese.
Also, I have successfully reduced the sugar to 1 cup and added orange extract, orange juice, and cinnamon. It works!
