Step 1: Preheat the Oven. Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). Gather all your ingredients and prepare your 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2: Prepare the Crust. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of your springform pan.

Step 3: Bake the Crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool completely.

Step 4: Make the Cheesecake Filling. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one by one.

Step 5: Bake the Cheesecake. Pour filling over the crust and bake for 45-50 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Step 6: Prepare the Strawberry Layer. Dissolve strawberry Jell-O in hot water, add cold water, and chill it until thickened. Fold in whipped topping.

Step 7: Assemble the Cheesecake. Spread the strawberry mixture over the cheesecake.

Step 8: Make the Whipped Cream Topping. Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form, then spread over the strawberry layer.

Step 9: Create the Shortcake Crumble. Combine crumbled cookies with melted butter and Jell-O powder. Sprinkle over the whipped cream.

Step 10: Serve and Enjoy. Slice and serve your cheesecake, garnished with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
