Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Crust

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

2. 2

   Bake the Crust

   Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

3. 3

   Make the Filling

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and beat until combined. Add the vanilla extract, sour cream, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

4. 4

   Bake the Cheesecake

   Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and slightly jiggles. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for an hour.

5. 5

   Prepare the Strawberry Topping

   In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.

6. 6

   Chill and Serve

   Once the cheesecake has cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, top with the strawberry mixture.
