I'm not a big fan of cheesecake, but this one was actually pretty good. The cranberry and white chocolate chunks added a nice touch.

This cheesecake was a disaster! The crust was too crumbly, the cheesecake was too dense, and the cranberries were too tart. I would not recommend this recipe.

The crust on this cheesecake is a little too crumbly for my liking, but the cheesecake itself is very good.

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