Looks good but why do you need so much sugar? I’m cutting down on sweets.
Too much sugar? Idk, sounds like a sweet treat to me! Who doesn’t love cheesecake? Just a little won’t hurt, right?
I get your point, but this is a dessert! The sugar is part of what makes it taste so good. You could try using less or a sugar substitute if you’re cutting down.
Gotta say, this was harder than it looked. Maybe I’m not cut out for baking.
I followed the recipe but my cheesecake didn’t set. What went wrong? Disappointed.
This is my go-to dessert! Always a hit at parties. 🤤
I totally agree! This cheesecake is the best! I made it for my sister’s birthday, and everyone loved it! 🍰
I tried making this once, but it didn’t taste like what I expected. The Limoncello was too much, maybe just use a bit? 🤔
Absolutely delicious! The Limoncello adds a unique flavor. 5 stars!
This is a fancy cheesecake. I made it for my friends and they loved it! Thanks!
Wow, just wow! So much better than regular cheesecake. Limoncello forever!
I can’t eat the cream cheese, so is there another way to make this without it?Help!
Yummy! But I didn’t have Limoncello, so I used vodka and a bit of lemon juice. Still turned out great!
Sounds like you made it work! Vodka and lemon juice is a creative swap. Glad it turned out great!
