- 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

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.
