Prepare the Crust:
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the sour cream and mix until smooth.
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the Cheesecake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for another hour to cool gradually.
Once cooled, remove from the oven and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Prepare the Strawberry Jelly Topping:
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberry jelly and lemon juice. Stir until melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Once the cheesecake is set, arrange the sliced strawberries on top and pour the strawberry jelly mixture over the strawberries, ensuring an even coating.
Serve:
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the creamy cheesecake paired with the sweet strawberry topping!
