I followed the recipe exactly and my cheesecake turned out terrible. It was cracked and the filling was runny.

This cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. The filling was too dense and the white chocolate coating was too thick.

The crust was a little too crumbly for my liking, but the filling was delicious. I would try a different crust recipe next time.

This cheesecake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
