Bake the cheesecake
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until chilled.
Topping Preparation

Prepare the strawberry topping
In a bowl, combine fresh strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Let sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
