I'm not a huge fan of grapefruit, but I thought this cheesecake was delicious. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the cheesecake filling was smooth and creamy. I would definitely make this again.

I had some trouble getting the cheesecake to set properly. I think I might have overbeaten the cream cheese.

This cheesecake was a bit too tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I would use less grapefruit next time.

This cheesecake is easy to make and it turned out beautifully. The grapefruit flavor is delicate and refreshing. I served it with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh grapefruit segments.

I made this cheesecake for my family and they all loved it. The grapefruit flavor was a nice change from the usual lemon or vanilla cheesecakes. I will definitely be making this again.

This cheesecake is so delicious! The grapefruit flavor is subtle but it really shines through. I also love the graham cracker crust - it's the perfect complement to the creamy cheesecake filling.

I've made this cheesecake twice now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the cheesecake filling is smooth and creamy. I love the pop of color from the grapefruit.

This cheesecake was a hit at my last dinner party! The tangy grapefruit flavor paired perfectly with the creamy cheesecake filling. I will definitely be making this again.
