 - Press the mixture onto the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan.
 
Prepare the Filling:

 - Gradually add the beaten eggs and egg yolks, mixing well after each addition.

Bake the Cheesecake:
- Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour.
 - After baking, turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven to room temperature.
 - Once cooled, cover the cheesecake loosely and refrigerate overnight before removing it from the pan.
 
Prepare the Blueberry Topping:
- In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in the water and fresh blueberries.
 - Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
 - Press the mixture through a fine sieve to remove the blueberry skins.
 - Stir in the lemon juice and allow the sauce to cool.
 - Once cooled, store the sauce in a glass jar.
 
Serve:
- Before serving, pour the blueberry sauce over the chilled cheesecake.
