A springform pan works best here. Wrap its plate with parchment paper and lock it in place.

Pour the mix through a strainer and into the prepared pan.
Rest mix
Let the mix rest in the pan for 10 minutes to let air bubbles out.

Refrigerate for 4 hours (or overnight) before removing the sides of the pan.

Nom nom. Yum yum.
Bonus (topping)
I winged this one and it worked out well. Heated up frozen berries with some honey and used it as topping. The whole combo was pretty tasty.
