Cooking Instructions

Get out an 8x8 pan and line it with parchment paper, with a little hanging over the sides.

Mix the Graham Crackers (10) , Dark Brown Sugar (3 Tbsp) , Simply Organic Cinnamon, Ground (1/4 tsp) and Butter (1/2 cup) together in a bowl until it is like wet sand.

Press it into a firm crust in the bottom of the baking dish and freeze it for 15 minutes.

While it freezes, make the filling. Stir the Cream Cheese (2 cups) , Tequila (3 Tbsp) , Limes (2) , Granulated Sugar (1 cup) , Sea Salt (1 tsp) and Vanilla Extract (1/2 tsp) together until smooth and luscious.

Evenly spread that cheesecake mixture over the cold crust and put the baking tray back in the freezer to freeze for at least 2 hours until solid. This makes it easier to cut.

Remove the cheesecake from the tray by lifting it out by the parchment and transferring it to a cutting board.

Peel away the parchment carefully and make 5 equal cuts both vertically and horizontally. This will yield 36 cute little bites. Keep them in the refrigerator until you want to serve them, and enjoy!!
