Mix the cheese filling
Whip the egg yolks and sugar until pale and fluffy. Mix the cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth, then fold into the sweetened egg yolks.

Add mix-ins
Reserve some candied citrus peel, walnuts, raisins, and orange zest for garnish. Chop the remaining mix-ins and fold into the cheese filling, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed. Chill.
