Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 cup digestive or graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 12 mini Jammie Dodgers (plus extra for topping)
Filling
- 1 ½ cups cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup heavy cream, cold
Topping
- ½ cup strawberry or raspberry jam
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a bowl, mix crushed digestive biscuits with melted butter until the consistency resembles wet sand. Spoon about one tablespoon of this mixture into each liner and firmly press it down to form an even base.
- Add the Jammie Dodgers: Place one mini Jammie Dodger cookie in the center of each pressed crumb base, slightly pressing it down so it stays in place.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain, creating a light and fluffy filling.
- Assemble the Cheesecakes: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly over each biscuit base and mini cookie, smoothing the tops carefully.
- Add Jam Swirls: Place a small spoonful of strawberry or raspberry jam atop each cheesecake and use a toothpick to swirl the jam gently into the filling to create a marbled effect.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 4 hours or until they are fully set and firm.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, top each mini cheesecake with an extra mini Jammie Dodger for decoration and added texture.
Notes
- You can substitute Jammie Dodgers with any mini sandwich-style jam cookies if unavailable.
- For extra texture, try swirling some crushed cookies into the cheesecake filling before assembling.
- Silicone molds can be used instead of paper liners for easier removal and a cleaner finish.
