FOR THE CRUST:
6 whole Low-fat Graham Crackers
1/3 cups Almonds
1/4 cups Sugar
4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
FOR THE FILLING:
16 ounces, weight Non-fat Or Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
1/2 cups Non-fat Or Reduced Fat Sour Cream
1/2 cups Sugar
1 whole Large Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 pinch Salt
FOR THE SAUCE:
1-1/2 pint Blueberries
1/2 cups Sugar
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1-1/2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 pinch Lemon Zest
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
6 whole Strawberries

1
Crust: Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Using a blender (or food processor if you have one), process graham crackers, almonds, and 1/4 cup of sugar until finely ground. Pour the melted butter into the mixture and continue processing until it's moistened. Pour mixture into a 9-inch tart pan and press it into the bottom and along the sides of the pan to form a crust. Place the crust (still in the tart pan) onto a cookie sheet and then into the freezer for 15-30 minutes.
2
Cheesecake filling: Add cream cheese, sour cream, 1/2 cup sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt into a blender or food processor. Blend mixture until it becomes smooth. Remove the tart pan/cookie sheet from the freezer and pour the filling into the crust. With the tart pan still on the cookie sheet, bake for 30-35 minutes, until filling is set. Cool.
3
Blueberry sauce: Combine blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest and corn starch in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the berries begin to break down into juice, 4-5 minutes. Let the sauce cool. (It can then be refrigerated in a covered container for up to 3 days.)
4
Once the cheesecake tart and the blueberry sauce are both cooled, pour the sauce onto the top of the tart. Place in the refrigerator to cool for 2 hours. Garnish with strawberries, and serve!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
