Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 1/2 cups pretzel crumbs
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
24 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup tequila
1/4 cup 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 325 degrees F 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 325 degrees F 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.
