MY husband and I love desserts and this is one of our favorites. It is delicious and there are no leftovers...extra calories, you know! Sometimes I top each piece with fresh seasonal berries.

This cheesecake was a little too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, airier cheesecake.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but it was a huge disappointment. The cheesecake was dense and crumbly, and the flavor was bland. I won't be making this again.

The cheesecake turned out amazing! I followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfect. The only thing I would change is to add a little more lemon zest to the filling. It was a little bland for my taste.

This cheesecake recipe became an instant favorite in our household. The texture was incredibly smooth and creamy, and the flavor was perfectly balanced. We loved the contrast between the tangy filling and the sweet graham cracker crust.
