Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a springform pan.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan.

Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 2 hours.

In a separate bowl, combine sliced strawberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well and let it sit for 10 minutes.

In another bowl, mix strawberry cereal with 2 tablespoons melted butter.

Once the cheesecake is chilled, top it with the strawberry mixture and sprinkle with the strawberry cereal.
