Prepare the water-based lemon cream as indicated in the link among the ingredients. Once ready, let it cool completely.
In a tall container, place the crumbled ricotta. You need fresh ricotta. Add sugar and lemon zest. Gradually add very cold water, mixing with an immersion blender until you have a delicate foam.
In a baking dish or bowl, alternate layers of Pavesini with ricotta cream and lemon cream, making two or more layers. Chill in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours before serving.
