In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, heavy cream, gelatin (prepared if using powdered), lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

3

Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the springform pan and smooth the top. Refrigerate until set.

In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, water, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and the blueberries burst. Allow to cool.

Once the cheesecake is set, top with the blueberry sauce before serving.
