  1. Ingredients:
    • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
    • 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream
    • 2 cups fresh strawberries, pureed
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for strawberry topping)
    • 1/4 cup water (for topping)
    • 2 tablespoons sugar (for topping)
    Directions:
    1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
    2. In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool.
    3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
    4. Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
    5. Stir in sour cream and heavy cream until smooth. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the pan.
    6. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour.
    7. Let cheesecake cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
    8. For the strawberry topping, combine the pureed strawberries, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens. Let it cool.
    9. Once cheesecake has chilled, spread the strawberry topping over the top. Serve chilled and enjoy!
