I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cheesecake didn't turn out as expected. The texture was a bit grainy and the flavors were a bit off.

This cheesecake was a bit too rich for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The flavors were all there and the texture was great.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of gorgonzola. But I'm so glad I did! The gorgonzola flavor was subtle and it paired perfectly with the pistachio. This cheesecake is now one of my favorites.
