In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries with the sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook gently for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and become soft, releasing their juices.
Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and purée until smooth. Pour the blueberry topping over the cheesecake layer and spread it gently to create an even, glossy finish.
Place the cheesecake back in the freezer for at least 45 minutes, allowing it to set fully. Once set, move the cheesecake to the refrigerator and keep chilled until serving time.
To serve, carefully unmold the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice with a sharp knife. For cleaner cuts, rinse the knife with warm water between slices.
