I had some trouble getting the cheesecake out of the pan in one piece. I think I should have let it cool for longer before trying to remove it.

The crust on this cheesecake is amazing! It's so buttery and flaky. I could eat it all by itself.

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

I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out perfectly. The mousse was so smooth and creamy, and the cheesecake was tangy and refreshing. I loved the way the two flavors complemented each other.
