You can apply a ready-mixed interior smoother/finishing plaster, or multi finish plaster, if using multi finish be sure to seal/prime the ceiling first with PVA or SBR.

All depends on what finish you desire. My recommendation would be to grit the ceiling and allow to dry. Then apply 2 coats of 2mm multi-finish and trowel up to leave a nice even smooth finish. Hope you're project goes well.
