This cheesecake was a disappointment. The filling was too dense and the crust was too thick.

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake, but this one is really good. It's not too sweet, and the crust is the perfect thickness.

This cheesecake is a classic for a reason! It's creamy, rich, and has the perfect balance of sweetness and tang. I love that it's not too dense, and the graham cracker crust is the perfect complement.
