    Recipe: Strawberry Margarita Cheesecake and a message/question

     Well, I'm trying out this new BB (forum) for the first time, just to see how it works. Can not figure out how to bring up a recipe in a search yet. Can we bring up old recipes and searches? I had a post of Czech recipes that I would like to locate. Since I was trying this out I thought I would post a recipe. Hope you enjoy. I see that there are not many recipes being posted here on RECIPES, I hope this changes, because I really miss all the great recipes posted in the past.  Maybe the Kitchen Chat area will become more active, now that this BB is more secure.  Smile Looking forward to seeing how this new forum type of board will work out. Sure hope I can catch on quickly.

    Strawberry Margarita Cheesecake

    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

    Garnishes: lime slices -- fresh strawberries

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

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

    Beat cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in 1/2 cup strawberry puree, lime juice, tequila and Triple Sec. 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 cheesecake from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Remove from pan; cover with plastic wrap and chill for 8 hours. Do not cover with aluminum foil. Garnish if desired.

    Wow! this sounds exotic enough to take to a party. I bet it would be a hit. Glad to see you join in, and probably the reason you're not seeing a lot of recipes yet is because every one is haveing so many problems that they're trying to call attention to and get solved and getting ready for the holidays. I know I am, It's just 10 days till Christmas!!

This is to have succeeded. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
