If the jam for the filling does not seem too thick, then you can fix its consistency by adding a little starch or crushed crumbs in white bread crumbs.

Danish jam cheesecakes
This baking variant is prepared from puff yeast dough or its faster version (false-layered yeast). The peculiarities of these cheesecakes include the method of formation and the mandatory coating of finished products with creamy glaze, which will make the dessert even tastier.

Next, quickly combine the liquid and dry components of the dough to prevent melting of the oil. Send the finished dough, wrapping it in film, overnight in the refrigerator to stabilize.
- Roll out two squares from the total mass of the dough with sides of 30 cm. Then divide each of them into nine smaller squares - blanks of future cheesecakes. Put the filling in the center of the workpiece, cut the corners of the squares in half and connect one half of the corner in the center.
- Lubricate the formed products with a beaten egg and bake in the oven at 170 degrees until golden brown. Coat the finished finished products with icing from powdered sugar and the remaining cream.
How to sculpt cheesecakes with jam
When forming cheesecakes, I want the fillings to be larger, so the sides of the dough should be higher.
There are two ways to achieve this result:
- A billet-kolobok is formed from the dough, in the center of which a depression is pressed by the bottom of the glass. It is worth noting that the dough, especially yeast, will strive to return to its original form, so it will be necessary to push the groove under the filling 2-3 times.
- The bun, necessary for one cheesecake, is rolled into an oval cake, on the opposite sides of which cuts are made with a knife. Next, put the jam in the center of the cake and cover it with one edge so that the filling is visible in the slot. Then also cover the other side of the cakes. Of course, such a cheesecake differs in shape from the classic round product, but it turns out to put more fillings.
