For the whipped cream: Pour one cup of whipping cream into an electric mixer, Using the whisk/beater attachment, beat on high, gradually adding the sugar. Beat until medium-stiff peaks form. Do not overbeat.
Crust Variations: If you you don't want to make a graham cracker crust, you can simply put a whole Oreo (Golden or Regular) or a Nilla Wafer at the bottom of the muffin liner (flat side down) and it will form a crust by itself as the cheesecakes bake in the oven.
Do not pre-bake the cookie by itself as you would the graham cracker crust; simply put the cookie in the liner and proceed to making the batter and baking the cheesecakes. This is one of those great tricks for when you're short on time and it works like a charm.
