This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. The crust was delicious and the filling was creamy and smooth. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.

This cheesecake was a bit too rich for my taste, but my family loved it. The crust was delicious and the filling was creamy and smooth. I would recommend using a dark chocolate instead of a semisweet chocolate to balance out the sweetness.
