Method
 

Preparation
  1. Step 1: Prepare the cookie base. Mix oreo crumbs and melted butter until well combined, then press into the bottom of an 8-inch springform cake pan. Refrigerate to firm up.
  2. Step 2: Create the cheesecake filling. Beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. In another bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Step 3: Dissolve the gelatine. Heat milk in a small pot and sprinkle in gelatine. Stir slowly until dissolved without boiling.
  4. Step 4: Combine mixtures. Take a few tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture and mix it with the gelatine. Fold this back into the cream cheese mixture, then gently fold in the whipped cream and blueberries until combined.
Assembly
  1. Step 5: Assemble the cheesecake. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled cookie base. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-5 hours, or overnight for best results.
  2. Step 6: Prepare the blueberry topping. In a pot, mix sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Stir in water, lemon juice, and blueberries. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook until the mixture thickens.
  3. Step 7: Cool the sauce. Once thickened, allow the blueberry sauce to cool before refrigerating.
  4. Step 8: Serve the cheesecake. Before serving, top the cheesecake with the prepared blueberry sauce.

Notes

Always start with softened cream cheese for the best texture. Let the cheesecake chill overnight for better texture and flavor meld.
