This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I was disappointed with this cheesecake. The crust was soggy and the filling was too dense.

The crust was a bit crumbly, but the filling was delicious. I'll try using a different crust recipe next time.

This cheesecake was a bit too tangy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I might try adding less lemon juice next time.

I've tried many German cheesecake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The quark cheese gives it a unique flavor that I love.
