I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheesecake didn't turn out right. It was too dense and didn't have much flavor.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm allergic to nuts. Can I substitute the graham cracker crust for something else?

I'm a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of caramel. But the cheesecake itself looks so good, I might just have to give it a try.

Followed the recipe to a T and it turned out perfectly! The cheesecake was creamy and flavorful, and the caramel sauce was the perfect topping. My family loved it.

This cheesecake was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of creamy vanilla and rich caramel was divine, and the crust was the perfect balance of crunch and chewiness. I'll definitely be making this again.
