This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would try using less cream cheese next time.

I had some trouble getting the cheesecake out of the pan without breaking it. I think I will try using a springform pan next time.

This cheesecake was a bit too tart for my taste, but my friends loved it. I think next time I would use less lemon juice.
