Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract until well combined. Fold in sliced strawberries gently.
Pour cheesecake batter over crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 50 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off oven and leave cheesecake inside with door ajar for 1 hour.
Chill cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before removing from pan and serving with extra fresh strawberries on top.
Notes
For best results, use ripe and firm strawberries. This cheesecake keeps well refrigerated for up to 4 days.
