Prep: 15 minutes, plus chilling time.
Combine crumbs and butter in a bowl. Press into bottom of a lightly greased 8 or possibly 9 inch springform pan. Chill. Combine basil, garlic and mayonnaise in food processor or possibly blender till smooth. Set aside. Beat together 3 cheeses in a mixing bowl till well blended. Beat in reserved basil mix. Spread mix over crust, pressing and smoothing top. Refrigerateat least 8 hrs or possibly overnight. When ready to serve, remove sides of pan and place cake on a platter. Press minced toasted almonds onto sides of cheesecake, if you like. To garnish top of cheesecake, make `flower' with slivered almonds and chive stems, if you like. Serve with assorted crackers, vegetable slices and toasts. Tip: Mascarpone cheese may be substituted for the ricotta for a smoother, milder flavor. For more cheese flavor, substitute half the Parmesan with Asiago cheese.
