Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add in the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  3. Gently fold in the sliced strawberries into the cheesecake mixture.
  4. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crust made earlier. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least four hours or preferably overnight.
  5. In a bowl, combine the crushed cereal, melted butter, and sugar for the topping. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Once the cheesecake has set, remove from the refrigerator, take off the springform pan, and sprinkle the crunchy topping over the cheesecake.

Notes

Chill the cheesecake overnight for enhanced flavor. You can use frozen strawberries if fresh ones are unavailable. Decorate with fresh strawberry slices or whipped cream for presentation.
