This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred a more tart filling.

This cheesecake was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more traditional cream cheese cheesecake.

This mascarpone cheesecake was a delight! The texture was creamy and smooth, and the flavor was rich and decadent. I loved the contrast between the tangy cream cheese and the sweet mascarpone.
