Tenderly fold the whipped cream into the strawberry cheesecake batter just until it is all combined.

Pour the cheesecake into the prepared pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to bring any air bubbles to the surface. Let it sit in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or until it is set to the touch.

Once the cheesecake is set, pour the remaining 3/4 cup strawberry topping over it.

Place the cheesecake back into the refrigerator and allow to set, uncovered, for another 30 minutes, or until the topping is set. At this point, it is ready to serve or you can cover the cheesecake with plastic and it can sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
