Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Grease a standard loaf pan with 2 tablespoons of the butter. Sauté onions in the remaining butter until soft, about 4 minutes.
Combine the cream cheese, cottage cheese, ground nuts, salt, pepper, dill, mustard, lime juice, and cheddar in a food processor until uniform. Spoon into the prepared pan and bake 1 hour.
Allow to cool completely in pan then chill for at least several hours before turning onto a serving platter.
To decorate, spread ricotta cheese all over as if frosting a cake. Place garnish over cake as desired. Serve with dark bread or crackers.
