I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out as good as the one in the picture.

The cheesecake was a little too sweet for my taste, but the crust was perfect.

I would have liked the cheesecake to be a little more boozy, but overall it was a great dessert.

I love that this cheesecake can be made ahead of time. It's always a lifesaver when I'm entertaining guests.

This cheesecake is definitely not for the faint of heart. It's rich, decadent, and very boozy. But if you're a fan of chocolate, coffee, and Kahlua, you'll love it.

I was a little hesitant to make this cheesecake because I'm not a big fan of Kahlua, but I'm glad I did. The Kahlua flavor was subtle and it really complemented the chocolate and coffee flavors.

This mudslide cheesecake was a hit at my party! It was rich and decadent, with a perfect balance of chocolate and coffee flavors. The cheesecake was creamy and smooth, and the crust was perfectly crunchy.
