This can range from one big 6cake for which you want to <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">choose a suitable form. Another option would be to use a muffin tin or <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">you can use food rings as I prefer it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><br \/>\nFood rings are by far the easiest choice and they come in various sizes. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Place a piece of baking paper into a form big enough to hold all food rings <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">you want to use and place the rings on top of it. Press the crust mixture <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">into the rings. Put the tray aside and continue with the cream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><br \/>\nMaking the cream cheese: You need to soak the cashews in cold <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">water for about 4-6 hours to soften them. If you are in a hurry same <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">rule applies for all dried produce.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">You can reduce the soaking time by using hot water. Place the cashews <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">in a covered bowl, pour boiling water over them and let them sit for 30 <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">minutes. Do not cook them. Once the cashews are softened, pour away <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">the excess water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">This step is necessary if you want it silky smooth.<br \/>\n***************************************************<br \/>\n<a title=\"Visit our J.
