For an almost instant dessert, I spread homemade ganache and caramel sauce over pre-made cheesecake. It makes the holidays feel slightly less hectic. -Laura McDowell, Lake Villa, Illinois

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling if you're not a fan of overly sweet desserts.

I've made this cheesecake several times now, and I've never been disappointed. It's always a hit with my family and friends.

This cheesecake was delicious, but it was a little too dense for my taste. I would recommend using a different graham cracker crust recipe, or even just using a store-bought crust.

This cheesecake was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or fruit to balance out the richness.

I had some trouble getting the cheesecake out of the pan without breaking it, but other than that, this recipe was great. The cheesecake was delicious, and the turtle topping was perfect.
