Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine the crust ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

  2. 2

    Press into the pan

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer.

  3. 3

    Bake the crust

    Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until well combined.

  2. 5

    Add eggs and flavors

    Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, add the sour cream and mix until smooth.

  3. 6

    Pour into the crust

    Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan.

  4. 7

    Bake the filling

    Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly.

  5. 8

    Cool and chill

    Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Topping Preparation

  1. 9

    Prepare the topping

    In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sliced strawberries and strawberry jam, stirring until the strawberries are warmed and the jam is melted.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, top with the warm strawberry mixture and serve with whipped cream on the side.
