Ingredients

• 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 24 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 pint Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 cup Strawberry jam
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.

Step 5

Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and blend until combined.

Step 6

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.

Step 9

Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour.

Step 10

Remove the cheesecake from the oven, run a knife around the edges to loosen it, and let it cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 11

For the strawberry glaze, combine the strawberry jam and water in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until the mixture is smooth and slightly thinned.

Step 12

Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the chilled cheesecake in a circular pattern.

Step 13

Brush the strawberry glaze over the strawberries, ensuring they are evenly coated for a glossy finish.

Step 14

Refrigerate the cheesecake for 30 minutes to allow the glaze to set before serving. Slice and enjoy!
