I forgot to mention that if there is a lot of juice from the strawberries you may need to add another teaspoon of cornstarch to thicken up the topping.

Also that the cheesecake itself needs to be set not runny before pouring the sour cream on top. It may need to cook up to 20 minutes longer depending on the oven you are using. Its alway a good idea to check to make sure your oven is the correct temperature. Use a thermometer to be sure.
