This recipe is much lower in sugar and fat than a traditional cheesecake, and the blueberries provide plenty of nutrients. Blueberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, which helps protect the body's cells from free radicals, and vitamin B6, which is important for a healthy brain and nervous system!
You can also use other berries if you prefer like raspberries or blackberries. Try different flavor combinations and see what you like best!

Crush the biscuits in a food processor and mix in the ground almonds and melted butter. Press the mixture onto the base of a 25cm spring-form tin and place in the fridge.

Soak the gelatine in a little cold water. Meanwhile, beat together the cream cheese, yoghurt and sugar then fold in the cream and lemon juice and zest.
