- For the strawberry topping:

Instructions
Step 1: Make the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Step 2: Make the cheesecake filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture over the cooled crust.
Step 3: Bake the cheesecake
Bake the cheesecake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
Step 4: Make the strawberry topping
In a saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the strawberries are soft. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 5: Assemble the cheesecakes
Once the cheesecake has cooled, remove it from the springform pan and cut it into mini cheesecakes using a cookie cutter or a knife. Top each mini cheesecake with the strawberry topping.
