This cheesecake is perfect! It's not too sweet, and the crust is the perfect balance of crunchy and crumbly. I love the hint of lemon in the filling. I will definitely be making this again.

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

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheesecake didn't turn out well. The crust was too thick and the filling was too runny. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. The crust was too dry and the filling was too dense. I think I overbaked it. I'll try again with a lower baking temperature.
