How to Make Irresistible Easy Homemade New York Style Strawberry

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

3. Gradually add sour cream and flour to the cream cheese mixture, beating until smooth. Pour the filling over the prepared crust.
4. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
5. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge to loosen. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully chilled.
6. In a small saucepan, heat strawberry jam and lemon juice over low heat until melted and smooth. Arrange sliced strawberries over the chilled cheesecake and brush with the strawberry glaze. Serve and enjoy!
