Prepare
- Begin by lining an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper and use cooking spray to adhere.
- In a food processor, crush the sweet cookies until they resemble fine crumbs.
- Mix cookie crumbs with melted butter, press into the pan, and freeze for 30-40 minutes.
- Whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth; add sweetened condensed milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and powdered sugar; combine until creamy.
- Gently fold in whipped cream until no streaks remain.
- Pour filling over the chilled base, spread evenly, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 24 hours.
- Cook chopped strawberries in a saucepan over low heat until soft; mash, then add powdered sugar and lemon juice, cooking until a jam-like consistency forms.
- Once chilled, freeze the cheesecake for 40 minutes for easier unmolding; carefully remove it from the pan.
- Spread cooled strawberry jam on top and decorate with reserved strawberries.

Notes
Ensure heavy cream is whipped to stiff peaks for a firm cheesecake. Chill for full 24 hours for the best results.
