📝 Preparation Steps
1
Crust
2
Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl until crumbs are evenly moistened. Press evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie pan.
3
Bake at 350 degrees F for ⏱️ 10 minutes or until crust just begins to brown. Cool completely.
4
Cheesecake
5
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Beat cream cheese until very smooth, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Beat in sugar followed by eggs then egg yolk, one at a time until combined after each addition. Beat in sour cream and vanilla and beat until very creamy, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Pour filling over cooled crust.

6
Place the pie pan in a large roasting pan and add water until it reaches half way up the sides of the pie pan. Bake for ⏱️ 45 minutes at 325 degrees F. The cheesecake should still jiggle in the center (it will firm up after chilling), and the edges should be mostly set.
7
After ⏱️ 45 minutes, turn oven off and crack oven door open. Let cool in cracked oven for ⏱️ 30 minutes. Remove cheesecake from oven and let cool completely on a rack then chill in refrigerator for at least ⏱️ 4 hours, best if overnight.

Strawberries
strawberries, hulled (divided)2 pounds

While Cheesecake is baking, prepare Glazed Strawberries. Add 1 cup roughly chopped strawberries and 1/2 cup water to a blender and puree until smooth, scraping down sides as needed.

Add puree to a small saucepan along with cornstarch, sugar and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, but not TOO thick or it will turn jello- like later.

When ready to serve, stir strawberries then use a slotted spoon (as strawberries will release juices as they chill) and spoon Strawberries over cheesecake and serve. Garnish with whipped cream if desired.
