This cheesecake was a disaster! The crust was too thick and the filling was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The crust on this cheesecake was a little crumbly, but the filling was delicious. I would recommend using a different crust recipe next time.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for me, but overall it was still good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling if you prefer a less sweet cheesecake.
