Ingredients

1 ¼ cups of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3 large eggs
2 cups of fresh strawberries, sliced
½ cup of strawberry jam

Instructions / Method

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 ¼ cups of sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until just blended.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is almost set. Let the cheesecake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge to loosen.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, arrange sliced strawberries on top and brush with strawberry jam for a glossy finish.
