* Step 2
For the Crust
* Step 3
Toast almonds for 10 minutes, cool. Turn oven to 325º.
* Step 4
In food processor, chop almonds and sugar until fine. Add salt, pulse several times. In a separate bowl, add egg yolk, butter and vanilla, whisk together.
* Step 5
Add butter mixture to nuts and pulse until small clumps form.
* Step 6
Place mixture in springform pan. Spread with fingers until the bottom is covered. Tamp down with the bottom of a water glass, starting in the middle and moving outwards. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
* Step 7
Bake crust in oven for 10 minutes, or until toasted. Cool on wire rack.

For the Citrus Filling
* Step 9
In food processor, combine sugar and citrus zest. Pulse until combined. Transfer to stand mixing bowl.

Add cream cheese and salt. With paddle attachment, beat on medium speed until smooth. Add ricotta and mix until you reach the desired consistency. For a grainier texture, one minute. For a smoother filling, 3-4 minutes.
* Step 11
Add egg yolks, one at a time. Beat in vanilla, corn starch, Grand Marnier, and lemon juice. Remove to large bowl.
