1
Prepare the Pecan Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor, pulse the pecans, flour, and sugar until finely ground. Add melted butter and pulse until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
2
Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar, mixing until well combined. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and mix until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined.
3
Combine and Bake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled pecan crust. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for about 60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
4
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, top with fresh strawberries.
