This cheesecake was a disappointment. The rhubarb swirl was barely noticeable and the cheesecake filling was bland.

I thought this cheesecake was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping it would be.

The crust was a little too crumbly for my taste.

I had some trouble getting the cheesecake to set properly. I think I might have overbaked it a little.

I'm not a huge fan of rhubarb, but I really enjoyed this cheesecake. The rhubarb swirl was subtle and didn't overpower the cheesecake flavor.
