Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 package Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Strawberries, sliced
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, and mix well.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour the mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
5. Bake for 60 minutes or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, powdered sugar, water, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the strawberries release their juices. Remove from heat and let it cool.
7. Remove the cheesecake from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Serve slices of cheesecake with the strawberry sauce on top. Enjoy!
