This cheesecake was a bit more dense than I expected, but it was still very good. The flavor was great and the crust was perfect. I would definitely make this again, but I would probably use a different graham cracker crust recipe.

I've made this cheesecake several times and it's always a hit! I love that it's not too sweet and the filling is so creamy. I usually add a little bit of fruit on top, like strawberries or blueberries.
