2 cups heavy cream for whipping
Three eight-ounce containers of cream cheese, at room temperature

Two-Crust Cheesecake Recipe
Start by combining the crust ingredients. Mix the ingredients until the butter is equally distributed among the crumbs. Fill a 9-inch springform pan halfway with the mixture and press down firmly. If it's not tightly packed, it will crumble when you attempt to slice it. Use the base of a dry measuring cup to do this. Before placing the springform pan in the freezer to set, lay aside the remaining half of the crust on the counter.
