This cheesecake is not worth the effort. It's bland and boring.

I had trouble getting the cheesecake to set properly. I think I may have overbaked it.

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

I've made this cheesecake several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The only thing I would change is to use a graham cracker crust instead of a pecan crust.

This cheesecake is easy to make and always turns out perfect. I love that I can use canned pumpkin, which makes it a great recipe for busy weeknights.
