Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease an 8-inch springform pan generously with butter.
  3. Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter in a mixing bowl until resembling wet sand. Pour into the springform pan and press down firmly.
  4. Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth, then gradually add granulated sugar and mix until fluffy and light.
  5. Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream, then gently fold in the diced strawberries.
  6. Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for about 50 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
