Ingredients
    Crust
    1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
    6 tablespoons melted butter
    1 tablespoon sugar
    Cheesecake
    3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
    1 cup sugar
    3 eggs
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 cup Greek yogurt
    Topping
    3 cups blueberries (can use fresh or frozen )
    1/4 cup water
    1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 teaspoon flour
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350°F.
    Crust:
    Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar and mix well. Pour into a 9 inch springform pan. Use a spoon and press crumbs evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake crust for 8 minutes. Take out of the oven and cool at room temperature.
    Cheesecake filling:
    Preheat oven to 430°F.
    In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix together cream cheese and sugar, until fluffy. (You can use a regular electric mixer and a bowl). Make sure you scrape the bowl, so you don't get any cream cheese chunks.
    Add eggs, one at a time and mix on low speed. Add vanilla.
    Add greek yogurt and mix well on low speed.
    Pour into crust .
    Bake on 430 F for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 275 F and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn the oven off and let the cheesecake sit inside for 1 hour. Then cool at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
    Blueberry Sauce:
    In a large pan over medium heat, combine water, sugar, lemon juice and flour. When this mixture begins to thicken add blueberries and mix well, so they are evenly coated. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until sauce begins to bubble.
    Cool at room temperature and serve on top of cheesecake.
