What is a 2-cup deep dish - what size is it in dimensions. Is it a springform?. How do you turn out otherwise.

This was a great dessert for company! Everyone thought it was stunning and delicious. Our guest insisted that we take a picture :) It was not too sweet, which we liked. I doubled the bavarian cream and blueberries portion and added a layer of ladyfingers to fill a 9" springform pan. Thanks for the recipe! -
Wonderful-I could eat this all the time. Better the second day.
