1 cup plus 2 Tbs sugar, divided
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 Tbs vanilla extract
1 (12 oz) pkg frozen strawberries, thawed

Release from the pan, and let chill overnight in the refrigerator.
- To make the sauce, combine the thawed strawberries and remaining sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until thickened, about 10 minutes. Puree the sauce, and set aside to cool.
- Spread a thin, even layer of sauce over the cheesecake. Arrange fresh strawberry slices as desired. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Serve with additional strawberry sauce.
