1ROAST GARLIC: Use this method...https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/italian/how-to-roast-garlic.html
-
2CHEESECAKE: In a food processor, combine 2 pkg cream cheese, parmesan, salt & cooled garlic; pulse until smooth. Add nuts; pulse until just mixed.
-
3MOLD CHEESE: Line all cookie cutters with plastic wrap. Divide cheese mixture among the cutters, filling to the top of each; level & smooth top with an offset spatula. Fold plastic wrap over tops & flip upside down onto dish. Refrigerate at least 5 hours or up to 3 days.
-
4THE DAY OF SERVING: Remove cheese from cutters; unwrap. Set 4 1/2" round on a small 6" round cake board or stand. Dip offset spatula into warm water, dry off & use to even out "wrinkles" in cheese. Add 2nd layer with 3 1/2" round using the same technique. Top off with 2" round using the same technique, so that it looks like a 3 tiered cake.
-
5DECORATE: Transfer cream cheese spread (whatever flavor you decide on) into a pastry bag with star tip. Pipe scallops around 4 edges of cake.
-
6SERVE WITH: Assorted crackers using a spread knife.
-
7NOTE: Can be doubled using larger cookie cutters for more guests.
