This cheesecake is amazing! I've made it twice now and it's always a hit. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is creamy and tangy. The blueberries add a perfect pop of sweetness and color. I highly recommend this recipe.

Not a fan of this cheesecake. The crust was too dry and the filling was too dense. I also didn't like the blueberry sauce.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the crust was amazing! I'll definitely be making the crust again, but I'll use a different filling next time.

This cheesecake is so delicious! The crust is the perfect combination of crunchy and flaky, and the filling is creamy and smooth. The blueberries add a nice tartness that balances out the sweetness of the cheesecake.
