Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cups finely crushed regular or cinnamon graham crackers (24 squares)
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 4 cups sliced strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds, if desired
  • Additional grated lemon zest or strips of lemon peel, if desired
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Combine all graham cracker crust ingredients in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. Press mixture evenly and firmly onto the bottom and sides of a 10-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom (do not bake yet).
  • In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to blend cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and egg until well combined. Gently fold in 2 cups of strawberries and chia seeds. Spread the mixture over the crust and place the tart on a baking sheet.
  • Bake the cheesecake for 40 to 50 minutes until it is set at least 2 inches from the edge of the pan, but the center still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and open the door at least 4 inches. Allow the cheesecake to sit in the oven for 30 minutes. Then cool it on a rack for another 30 minutes. Gently remove the tart from the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but not longer than 8 hours.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 2 cups of sliced strawberries with 1/3 cup of sugar. Allow it to sit for about 1 hour.
  • Slice the cheesecake into wedges and garnish with fresh strawberries and lemon zest before serving.
