This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The crust was graham crackery and the filling was smooth and creamy.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but I thought I'd give this cheesecake a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The crust was perfect and the filling was smooth and creamy. I loved the hint of cinnamon and nutmeg in the filling.

This cheesecake was not what I expected. The crust was too thick and the filling was too dense. I would not recommend this recipe.
