1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
2
Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
3
Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
4
Cool and Chill
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour. Then, remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
5
Prepare Strawberries
Wash and slice the fresh strawberries. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and allow them to macerate for about 15 minutes.
6
Serve
Once the cheesecake has chilled, remove it from the springform pan. Top with the macerated strawberries and serve.
