4. Pour into crust: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled Oreo crust and smooth the top.
5. Bake: Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 30 minutes with the door slightly open.
6. Cool and chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven, let it cool completely, and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

For the Strawberry Topping:

1. Prepare topping: In a saucepan, heat the strawberry jam and water over low heat until melted. Let it cool slightly.
2. Top cheesecake: Arrange halved strawberries on top of the cheesecake and brush them with the melted jam for a glossy finish.
