I'm not sure what happened, but my cheesecake didn't turn out well. It was too dry and the crust was too hard.

Not a fan of this recipe. The cheesecake was too dry and the crust was crumbly.

This cheesecake is a little bit more dense than I expected, but it's still very good. I think I'll try using a different cream cheese next time.
