Steps:
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line springform pan with parchment paper.

Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor. Blend until they reach a fine, powdery consistency. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Oat Flour and Powdered Sugar. Pour in the melted Butter and stir until the mixture becomes a crumbly, cohesive texture.
Step 3
Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan and press it down evenly with a spatula or spoon until you have a smooth, compact crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes and cool.
Step 4
Prepare the Filling: Bloom Gelatin in a 100 ml of cold water for 5-10 minutes.
Step 5
Gently melt the bloomed gelatin using a double boiler until it’s fully dissolved.
Step 6
In a blender or using an immersion blender, combine the Ricotta, Mascarpone, Lime Juice, Powdered Sugar and 100g of Blueberries. Stir the melted gelatin into the blueberry-ricotta mixture. Blend until smooth.
Step 7
Assemble: Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top.
Step 8
Cover the pan with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
