Preheat oven to 350. Make crust: In a bowl, stir together crust
ingredients. Sprinkle the crumbs into a 9 inch springform pan and press
evenly over bottom and up the sides about 1 1/2 inches. Make filling: with
an electric mixer beat cream cheese until fluffy and add eggs a little at a
time. Beat in vanilla and sugar until just combined. Pour filling into
crust and bake in the middle of the oven for 45 min. Transfer cake to a
rack and let stand 5 min. Leave oven on. Make topping: stir together

plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Remove cake from refrigerator and
let stand at room temperature 30 min. Serve with strawberries if desired.
