    Method

    1. 1

      Heat the oven to 160°C (325°F). Mix the crumbs, butter and sugar and press into a 23 cm (9 in) springform pan. Bake 10 minutes.

    2. 2

      Beat the cream cheese and sugar until completely smooth. Beat in the cornstarch, then the eggs one at a time on low speed.

    3. 3

      Mix in the sour cream, heavy cream and vanilla until just smooth.

    4. 4

      Pour over the crust. Bake in a water bath (wrap the pan in foil) for 70-80 minutes until set at the edges with a slight wobble in the center.

    5. 5

      Turn the oven off and leave the cake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour, then chill at least 6 hours.

    6. 6

      Warm the jam with the lemon juice, toss with the strawberries and pile on top before serving.
