Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Crush the gluten-free graham crackers into fine crumbs. Melt the butter and combine with the crumbs.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set but still jiggles slightly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
To make the blueberry topping, combine fresh blueberries, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken and the blueberries soften, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Once the cheesecake is chilled, spread the blueberry topping evenly across the top.
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan before serving.
