Ingredients for Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes

Alright, let’s gather our goodies! Here’s what you’ll need to make these amazing Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes. Don’t skimp on the good stuff, okay?

150g Digestive Kekse, finely crushed (trust me, a food processor makes this WAY easier!)
75g unsalted butter, melted (mmm, that buttery goodness!)
300g cream cheese, softened (this is key – no one wants lumpy cheesecake!)
50g powdered sugar, sifted (sifting is important, or you’ll get little clumps)
200ml heavy cream (for that super creamy texture!)
100g raspberry jam (Jammie Dodger vibes, obviously!)
6 Jammie Dodgers, crushed (save a couple of nice ones for decoration, if you’re feeling fancy!)

How to Make Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes: Step-by-Step Instructions

Okay, ready to get your hands dirty? These Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes are super easy to make, I promise! Just follow these steps, and you’ll be enjoying them in no time. Patience is key though, especially with the chilling!

Preparing the Digestive Biscuit Base

First things first, let’s get that biscuit base sorted. Crush your Digestive Kekse until they’re nice and fine – like breadcrumbs, really. Then, mix them with the melted butter until everything’s evenly coated. Now, press that mixture firmly into the bottom of your muffin liners. You want it nice and compact, so really push it down! I use the back of a spoon for this.

Making the Cream Cheese Filling for Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes

Next up: the creamy filling! Make sure your cream cheese is nice and soft, or you’ll end up with a lumpy mess. Beat it together with the sifted powdered sugar until it’s smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip your heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Then, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to overmix it – you want to keep it light and airy!

Assembling the Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes

Now for the fun part: assembling! Spoon the cream cheese filling over the biscuit bases, filling each muffin liner almost to the top. Then, add a dollop of raspberry jam to the top of each cheesecake. Finally, sprinkle those crushed Jammie Dodgers all over the jam. If you’re feeling fancy, use a piping bag for the cream cheese filling – it makes it look extra pretty!

Chilling and Setting the Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes

This is the hardest part: waiting! Pop those Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes into the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours, or even better, overnight. This is super important, or they’ll be too soft. You’ll know they’re ready when the filling is firm to the touch. So worth the wait, trust me!

Tips for Perfect Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes

Want to make sure your Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes are absolutely PERFECT? Of course you do! Here are a few little tricks I’ve learned along the way:

Achieving the Perfect Biscuit Base

Make sure those Digestives are crushed REALLY finely. Lumps can make it hard to press evenly! And speaking of pressing, really pack that base in there. A good, solid base prevents it from crumbling later. Nobody wants a crumbly mess!

Ensuring a Smooth Cream Cheese Filling

Seriously, SOFTEN that cream cheese! Take it out of the fridge at least an hour before you start. If you forget (oops, I’ve been there!), you can microwave it for a few seconds, but be careful not to melt it! Lumpy filling? No thanks!

Preventing a Soggy Base in Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes

Okay, this is my little secret weapon: bake the biscuit base! Just pop the muffin tin into a preheated oven (180°C) for about 5 minutes before adding the filling. This will give you an extra-crisp base that won’t get soggy. Careful not to burn it, though!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions for Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes

Not got everything on hand? Don’t panic! These Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes are pretty flexible. Here are a few swaps you can make:

Digestive Biscuits Substitution

Can’t find Digestive Biscuits? No problem! Graham crackers work great, or any similar plain biscuit, really. Just make sure they’re not too sweet or strongly flavored, or they’ll overpower the cheesecake. You want that Jammie Dodger vibe to shine through!

Raspberry Jam Variation

Okay, raspberry jam is classic Jammie Dodger, but hey, strawberry or apricot jam would also be delicious! Get creative! Just pick a jam you love, and that complements the creamy cheesecake. I personally love apricot, it really makes the dish POP!

Serving Suggestions for Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes

Okay, so you’ve made these adorable Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes… now what? They’re honestly amazing on their own, but if you wanna get fancy, try serving them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A few fresh raspberries on top? Oh, yeah! Or, a cup of tea, obviously! Perfect for an afternoon treat!

Storage and Reheating Instructions for Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes

Got leftovers? (Lucky you!) These Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes are best stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll keep for about 3 days, but honestly, they probably won’t last that long! Don’t even THINK about reheating them – they’re meant to be enjoyed cold, straight from the fridge. Seriously, yum!

Frequently Asked Questions About Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes

Got questions? I’ve got answers! Here are a few things people often ask about these adorable Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes:

Can I freeze Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes?

Okay, so technically, yes, you *can* freeze them. But I wouldn’t really recommend it. Freezing can change the texture of the cheesecake, making it a bit icy. If you *must* freeze them, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then pop them in a freezer bag. Thaw them in the fridge overnight. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you about the texture thing!

How long do Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes last in the fridge?

They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for about 3 days… *if* they aren’t devoured before then! Store them in an airtight container to keep them from drying out. Honestly, they’re best enjoyed within the first day or two, when the biscuit base is still nice and crisp. After that, it might get a little soggy. Still delicious, though!

Can I make these Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecakes vegan?

Ooh, now that’s a fun challenge! Yes, you *can* make a vegan version! You’ll need to swap out the cream cheese for a vegan alternative – there are some pretty good ones out there these days! Also, make sure your Digestive Biscuits are vegan-friendly (some contain milk). And obviously, check the Jammie Dodgers too! It might take some experimenting, but a vegan Mini Jammie Dodger Cheesecake is totally achievable!

Nutritional Information Disclaimer

Okay, just a quick note: the nutrition info here is just an estimate, okay? It can vary a LOT depending on the brands you use and how generous you are with the jam! So, yeah, don’t take it as gospel!
