Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  3. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar and salt, mixing until well combined. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until incorporated. Pour filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  5. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until edges are set but the center jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let cool for 1 hour.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Combine sliced strawberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook until thickened, then let cool.
  8. Spoon the strawberry topping over the cheesecake before serving.
