Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 12 mini Jammie Dodgers (plus extra for topping)
- 1 cup digestive biscuit crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Topping
- 1/4 cup raspberry or strawberry jam
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Extra mini Jammie Dodgers (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Line a muffin tin with 6 cupcake liners. In a bowl, combine the digestive biscuit crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of each liner to form the crust. Place the tin in the refrigerator and chill for 10–15 minutes to set.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and fluffy filling.
- Assemble the Cheesecakes: Place a mini Jammie Dodger cookie into each chilled crust liner, pressing gently to sit flat. Spoon the cheesecake filling over each cookie base, smoothing the tops evenly with a spatula.
- Add Jam Swirl: Add a small dollop of raspberry or strawberry jam in the center of each cheesecake. Using a toothpick or skewer, swirl the jam gently throughout the topping to create a pretty marbled effect.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled mini cheesecakes for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is fully set and firm.
- Serve: Just before serving, optionally top each mini cheesecake with a small dollop of whipped cream and an extra mini Jammie Dodger cookie for decoration. Serve chilled and enjoy.
Notes
- If mini Jammie Dodgers are unavailable, use full-size Jammie Dodgers cut in half.
- Either strawberry or raspberry jam works well for the swirl topping.
- For easier removal, consider using silicone cupcake liners or a loose-bottom mini cheesecake pan.
