This cheesecake is delicious, but it's a bit too rich for me. I prefer a lighter cheesecake.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I can never seem to get the crust right. It always comes out too crumbly.

The crust on this cheesecake was a bit too crumbly for my liking, but the filling was delicious.

This cheesecake is a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

This lemon cheesecake was a hit at my last dinner party! The crust was perfectly graham crackery and the filling was smooth, creamy, and perfectly tangy. I'll definitely be making this again.
