In a large bowl or mixer, combine ricotta and mascarpone. Add honey, vanilla bean seeds, and lemon zest. Beat until smooth.

Pulse flour, sugar and salt, in a food processor, until combined.
Add cold butter and pulse until mixture is crumbly.
Slowly drizzle in ice water, with food processor running, until dough begins to come together.
Add eggs. Mix until fully incorporated.
Turn dough out onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Roll into a ball, and flatten into a disc.
Tightly wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
