The cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste. I would have preferred it to be lighter and fluffier.

The crust was a bit too thick for my liking. I would have preferred it to be thinner and crispier.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar.

This cheesecake is a great make-ahead dessert. You can make it a day or two in advance, and it will still be delicious.

The crust is the perfect complement to the creamy filling. It's buttery and flaky, and it holds up well to the filling.

I love the banana flavor in this cheesecake. It's not too overpowering, and it pairs perfectly with the cream cheese.

This cheesecake was a hit at my party! The banana flavor was subtle and creamy, and the cheesecake itself was light and fluffy. I will definitely be making this again.
