This cheesecake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the blueberry swirl was a bit more tart.

This cheesecake is so good, it's dangerous! I could easily eat a whole slice in one sitting. The crust is perfectly graham crackery and the filling is smooth and creamy. The blueberry swirl is the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.

I thought this cheesecake was just okay. The crust was a little too thick and the filling was a little too sweet. I also found the blueberry swirl to be a bit too tart.

This cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. The crust was too crumbly and the filling was too dense. The blueberry swirl was good, but it wasn't enough to save the cheesecake.
