What Is a Jammie Dodger?

A Jammie Dodger is a beloved British biscuit made of shortbread layered with a jam filling—traditionally raspberry. The top cookie has a little heart cut-out so you can see the jam peeking through. Its crumbly, buttery texture and fruity sweetness make it a nostalgic favorite. Using it in cheesecake form just amplifies that charm.

Structure & Layers

These cheesecakes consist of three layers:

  1. Base – made by grinding Jammie Dodgers (or another vegan biscuit) into crumbs and binding with melted dairy-free butter or equivalent
  2. Filling – a smooth vegan cheesecake (using cashews, vegan cream cheese, coconut cream, etc.) with raspberry jam swirled in and crumbled Jammie Dodger bits
  3. Decoration – a swirl or dollop of pink dairy-free whipped cream, topped with a mini Jammie Dodger and optionally freeze-dried raspberries

Tips for Best Results

  • Use loose-base or push-up tins to make removal neat and tidy
  • Press the base firmly to avoid crumbling later
  • Soak your cashews (several hours or overnight) to ensure the filling blends smooth
  • Let mixture set fully before unmolding — you can pop into the freezer for 10–15 minutes to help
  • Use a high-speed blender to get rid of lumps; a thick batter helps
  • Store chilled in an airtight container; best eaten within 3–4 days
  • Transport carefully — since they’re chilled, a warm train ride could soften them; freezing them solid before transport helps
