I'm not a big fan of cheesecake, but this one was amazing! The chocolate and coffee flavors were perfectly balanced, and the crust was perfectly graham crackery.

The crust was a bit too thick and the cheesecake was a bit too dense, but overall it was still a good cheesecake.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheesecake didn't turn out very well. It was too dense and the crust was too thick.
