    List of Ingredients




    1 1/2 C. pretzel crumbs
    1/2 C. butter or margarine, melted
    1 C. fresh strawberries, hulled
    24 oz. cream cheese, softened
    1 C. sugar
    4 large eggs
    1/4 C. fresh lime juice
    1/4 C. tequila
    1/4 C. Triple Sec
    Lime slices; fresh strawberries

    Combine pretzel crumbs and butter; firmly press on bottom and 1 1/2 inches up sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 325ºF for 8 to 10 minutes; set crust aside.

    Place strawberries in container of electric blender; process until smooth, stopping once to scrape down sides. Reserve 1/2 cup purée.

    Beat cream cheese at medium speed with electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in lime juice, tequila and liqueur. Pour into prepared pan; pour reserved strawberry purée on top in a circle, and gently swirl batter with a knife. Bake at 325ºF for 1 hour and 10 minutes (center will be soft).

    Remove from oven, and run knife around edge of pan to release sides. Return to oven; turn oven off, and leave cheesecake in oven 30 minutes.

    Remove from oven, and let cool completely on a wire rack.

    Remove from pan; cover with plastic wrap, and chill 8 hours. (Do not cover with aluminum foil.)

    Garnish, if desired, with lime slices and fresh strawberries.
