Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.
While the blueberry mixture is cooling, blend the cottage cheese, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, cornstarch, and vanilla bean paste until smooth.
Layer the cottage cheese mixture and blueberry sauce alternately in popsicle molds.
Top with crushed graham cracker for added crunch.
