I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my cheesecake didn't set properly. It was still runny in the center.

I added a layer of fresh berries to the top of the cheesecake before baking it. It was a delicious addition.

I'm not a big fan of graham cracker crust, so I used a chocolate cookie crust instead. It turned out great!

Overall, I thought this cheesecake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The crust on this cheesecake was a bit soggy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I thought this cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier cheesecake.
