This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still really good. I would definitely make it again, but I would use less sugar in the filling.

I'm not a big fan of cheesecake, but I really enjoyed this one. The maple and nut flavors were really unique and the crust was perfectly crispy.

This cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. The crust was too dry and the cheesecake filling was too dense. I think I overcooked it.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cheesecake turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the filling. It was a bit too sweet for my taste.
