This cheesecake was okay. The crust was a little too crumbly and the filling was a little too dense. I think it would have been better with a graham cracker crust and a lighter filling.

This cheesecake was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this again.
