This cheesecake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.

This cheesecake is absolutely delicious! The crust is perfectly graham crackery and the filling is creamy and smooth. I love the hint of lemon in the filling. It's the perfect balance of tart and sweet.

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake, but I tried this recipe because my friends raved about it. I was pleasantly surprised! The cheesecake was light and fluffy, and the flavor was amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The crust was too crumbly, and the filling was a bit too dense.
