Blueberry Refrigerator Pie

This blueberry-ricotta pie with yogurt and granola topping made a delicious breakfast on  this lazy summer day.  The recipe was inspired by a newspaper version.  It had cream cheese, and since I'm not a cream cheese person, I substituted unflavored gelatin.  That worked just fine.  Next time I'll make it in a small springform pan, so the height will change but not the portion.  My granola recipe was posted last week.  That added more flavor and color to the recipe.
