MARGARITA CHEESECAKE
From Southern Living. Adult version of cheesecake with a pretzel crust containing pureed fresh strawberries, tequila and Triple Sec. I'm not a huge cheesecake fan, but have made this several times when having friends over for Mexican food. Remember to take 8 hour chilling time into account. Posted for strawberry recipe swap.
