Form and Bake the Crust
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Bake the Cheesecake
Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still slightly jiggles. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Strawberry Topping Preparation

Prepare the Strawberries
In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the strawberries in the sugar and lemon juice.

Let the Topping Marinate
Let the mixture sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.

Serve
Once the cheesecake has chilled and set, remove from the springform pan. Top the cheesecake with the marinated strawberries before slicing and serving.
