Form the Crust
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.

Add Sugar and Sour Cream
Gradually add granulated sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Then add sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

Combine and Bake
Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

Cool and Chill
Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Topping Preparation

Prepare the Strawberry Topping
In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the strawberries. Let sit for about 15 minutes to allow the juices to develop.
