Beat the cream cheese and ricotta together until smooth, continue beating as you mix in the sugar, then the eggs.
3
Slowly beat in the whipping cream.
4
Add lemon juice.
5
To add the bean, using a sharp knife, slice down the length of the bean, peel open and scrape down the bean to collect the contents. Using a spatula or second knife, scrape the contents of the bean into the mixture. Fold in.
6
Pour into large baking pan, or series of loaf pans.

Bake at 150°C for 45 minutes or so, slightly less time in loaf pans. The cake should still be jelly-like in the centre when done. Remove and allow to cool, then refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours.
