The cheesecake was delicious, but I found the crust to be a bit too crumbly. Next time, I'll try using a different recipe for the crust.

I had some trouble finding cranberries, so I used raspberries instead. The cheesecake still turned out great!

The cheesecake was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a great recipe.
