This impressive tall cheesecake is rich and creamy, but not too sweet. It goes equally well with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. -Anne Addesso, Sheboygan, Wisconsin

This cheesecake is a bit too expensive to make. I would only make it for special occasions.

This recipe is missing some important steps. It doesn't say how long to bake the cheesecake, or at what temperature.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheesecake cracked while it was baking. It still tasted good, but it didn't look very appetizing.

This cheesecake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling by half next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out as good as I expected. The crust was a little dry, and the filling was a bit too dense.

This cheesecake is so rich and creamy, it's almost like eating a cloud. The flavor is amazing, and the crust is the perfect balance of crunch and chewiness.

I'm not a huge cheesecake fan, but this recipe changed my mind. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was rich and decadent. I loved the hint of lemon in the filling, too.

This cheesecake was a hit at my last dinner party! The texture was creamy and smooth, and the flavor was perfectly balanced. I'll definitely be making this again.
