This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I would prefer a lighter cheesecake next time.

This raspberry cheesecake was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of the tangy raspberries and the creamy cheesecake was perfect, and the crust was buttery and flaky. I will definitely be making this again.
