- FOR THE CHEESECAKE CRUST
- 1 cup Ginger Snap Crumbs (for 1 Cup You'll Need About 20 Cookies)

- 1 package (1/4 Oz. Size) Unflavored Gelatin
- 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar

- To make the blueberry sauce: In a small saucepan, bring blueberries, water and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes or until blueberries have cooked down and mixture starts to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest. Transfer sauce to a bowl or container and chill in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
- To make the cheesecake crust: Heat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, stir together gingersnap crumbs, graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar. Add butter and stir until well combined. Using your fingers or the bottom of a glass, press mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch spring form pan. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown and set.
- Meanwhile, make the cheesecake filling: Pour 1/2 cup of the heavy cream into a small saucepan on a stove top; sprinkle with the gelatin. Let it sit for 2 minutes.
- Turn on heat to low. Heat and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Add remaining heavy cream, sugar and vanilla. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved and cream is heated through.
- Meanwhile, add cream cheese, sour cream and lemon zest and juice to a blender. Blend 1 minute until well combined. Pour in hot heavy cream mixture. Blend another 4 to 5 minutes until filling is well combined and thickened.
- Pour and spread filling evenly onto cooled crust. Chill it (uncovered) in the refrigerator for 1 hour, then cover with plastic wrap or foil and chill another 4 hours (or overnight) to set.
- Serve chilled cheesecake with blueberry sauce spooned on top.
