I laughed at the Golden Girls when they faced their conundrum, over a cheesecake and this is the cheesecake to end all cheesecakes, not to mention conundrums! Simple to make and really to die for.. Thanks to a cousin and his part-time job in a local deli, this secret recipe, sold by the slice, is truly worth its weight in gold. So, thank you David, and everyone enjoy!

This was my first time making a cheesecake and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect. The cheesecake was creamy and smooth and the lemon curd was tangy and sweet.

This cheesecake was amazing! The crust was perfectly graham crackery and the filling was light and fluffy. I loved the tangy sweetness of the lemon curd. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

The cheesecake was delicious, but the crust was a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try making it with a different crust next time.

This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my liking, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try making it with a different recipe next time.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my friends loved it. I think I'll try making it again with less sugar next time.
