Method
Crust
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stove, then mix it with the graham cracker mixture until fully combined.

Form 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 the oven and let it cool completely.
Filling

Prepare the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer. Gradually add in the granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.

Bake the cheesecake
Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread it evenly. Bake in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for about an hour.

Cool the cheesecake
After the cheesecake has cooled, remove it from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Topping

Prepare the strawberry topping
Wash and slice the fresh strawberries. In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the strawberries and let them sit for about 15-20 minutes to release their juices.

Assemble the cheesecake
Once the cheesecake is chilled, remove it from the springform pan. Arrange the macerated strawberries on top of the cheesecake before serving.
