Place a layer of chopped parsley evenly over the lined loaf pan.
Gently spread the cream cheese mixture over the parsley
Cover the pan with plastic wrap & chill for 30 minutes
Gently lift the cream cheese mixture with the plastic wrap lining the pan and place it on a flat surface.
The bottom of the cream cheese will now be coated with the parsley
From the short end, gently roll the coated cream cheese by lifting one end of the plastic wrap into a log.
Place the log onto a serving dish, cover and chill for at least one hour before serving.

Notes

*Many countries outside the US only have spreadable cream cheese available to them (unlike the US and Canada, where block cream cheese is sold). Therefore, cornstarch (AKA cornflour) is added to the recipe for those who need a way to make the cream cheese firmer.
