Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 2 cups cinnamon-sugar pita chips, lightly crushed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 17 -ounce container plain 2-percent Greek yogurt
  • 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 cups frozen wild blueberries
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin

Method

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
  • Wrap the bottom and sides of the pan with a large piece of foil and place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Put the pita chips into a food processor and pulse until fine.
  • Add the butter and process until the crumbs are moistened.
  • Press the crumbs into the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of the prepared pan.
  • Bake until the crust is slightly dry in appearance and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, combine the yogurt, cream cheese, eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor and process until well blended and smooth.
  • Pour over the prepared crust and bake until the center is just set, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Let cool completely on a wire rack, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, put the blueberries and pineapple juice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle the gelatin over 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl and let stand 5 minutes.
  • Stir the dissolved gelatin into the hot blueberry mixture until combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl, cover and chill until thickened, about 3 hours.
  • After chilling the cheesecake, remove the springform ring.
  • Slice and serve, topped with the blueberry sauce.
  • If the sauce is too thick, rewarm it in the microwave for 20 seconds at a time before spooning over the cheesecake.
