Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease a 9-inch springform pan. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, and press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  3. Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until silky.
  4. Gently fold in the strawberry puree and chopped strawberries.
  5. Pour the filling over the crust and bake for 55–65 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly.
  6. Turn off the oven, leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour. Let cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
