Method
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.

- Pour cheesecake batter over the crust, smoothing the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly. Let cool in oven with door ajar for about 1 hour.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until strawberries release juices, then add cornstarch mixture and cook until thickened. Let cool.
- Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Spread strawberry topping over chilled cheesecake and dollop with whipped cream before serving.

Notes
For a smoother cheesecake, strain the strawberry puree before adding it. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best mixing. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a crumbly texture. Cheesecake can be made a day in advance, and chilling overnight enhances flavor.
