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

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The crust was a little too crumbly, and the filling was a little too dense. I'm not sure what went wrong.
