My son requests this cheesecake for his birthday cake every year, and our school auction committee asks me to make it for their annual auction. It's definitely one of the best cheesecakes I make. -Diane Schumann, Fredonia, Wisconsin

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake, but this one was really good. The crust was the perfect balance of crunchy and crumbly, and the filling was creamy and not too sweet.

This cheesecake was okay, but I've had better. The crust was a little too thick and the filling was a little too dense.

I was really looking forward to this cheesecake, but I was disappointed. The crust was dry and crumbly, and the filling was too sweet.

This raspberry almond cheesecake was a hit at our party! The crust was buttery and flavorful, and the cheesecake filling was creamy and tangy. The raspberries added a beautiful pop of color and a sweet-tart flavor.
