This cheesecake was a disaster! The crust was too crumbly and the cheesecake filling was too runny.

This cheesecake was a bit too tart for my taste but I think I just need to use less rhubarb next time.

This rhubarb-topped cheesecake was absolutely divine! The crust was perfectly crumbly, the cheesecake filling was creamy and smooth, and the rhubarb topping was tart and tangy. It was the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
