The chocolate topping on this cheesecake was too thin and runny. It didn't have the thick, creamy texture that I was expecting.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my cheesecake didn't set properly. It was still wobbly in the center when I took it out of the oven.

This cheesecake was a bit of a let down. The chocolate flavor was lacking and the texture was too dense.

The crust on this cheesecake was a bit too thick and dry for my taste. I would have preferred a thinner, more delicate crust.
