How To Make basil cheese torte

• Step 1
  Position the knife blade in the food processor bowl; add basil and parsley, and process until finely chopped. Add the Parmesan cheese; process until blended. Pour olive oil through the food chute in a slow, steady stream with the processor running, processing until combined. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in pine nuts, if desired. Set aside.
• Step 2
  Combine the cream cheese and remaining ingredients in a medium mixing bowl; beat at medium speed until smooth. Dampen enough cheesecloth to line an empty ice-cube tray or 3-cup mold.
• Step 3
  Alternately layer half the reserved herb mixture and half the cream cheese mixture, beginning with the herb mixture and ending with the cream cheese mixture. Fold the cheesecloth over the layers, and gently press to smooth the top. Chill for at least 1 hour.
• Step 4
  Unmold onto a serving platter; carefully peel off the cheesecloth. Serve with an assortment of crackers.
