This cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. The flavor was bland, and the texture was grainy.

This cheesecake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I love that this recipe uses pudding mix. It makes the cheesecake so creamy and delicious. I've tried other cheesecake recipes that use cream cheese only, and they're just not as good.
