Prepare the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

Form the Crust
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a measuring cup to ensure it is even.

Pre-bake the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
Cheesecake Filling Preparation

Mix Cream Cheese
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.

Add Sugar and Sour Cream
Gradually add the granulated sugar and sour cream, mixing until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.

Sift in the all-purpose flour and mix until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.

Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 1 hour or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.

Cool the Cheesecake
Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Strawberry Coulis Preparation

Cook the Strawberries
In a small saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries soften and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.

Blend the Coulis
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Blend the mixture until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve if desired for a smoother texture.
