- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream, followed by the pureed strawberries. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the springform pan.

Notes
- For best texture, use room temperature ingredients.
- Can substitute fresh strawberries with frozen ones, just ensure they are thawed and drained.
