2. Prepare the Strawberry Topping:

   • In a bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice until well coated.

   • Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
   • Fold in the sweetened shredded coconut and whipped cream until evenly incorporated.

4. Assemble the Cheesecakes:

   • Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts in each serving glass or jar, filling almost to the top.
   • Top each cheesecake with the macerated strawberries, dividing them evenly among the servings.

5. Chill:

   • Cover the serving glasses or jars with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.

6. Garnish and Serve:

   • Before serving, garnish each cheesecake with additional sweetened shredded coconut and fresh strawberry slices, if desired.
