Mini Margarita Cheesecake

  Hello!, I'm in my kitchen again. Thank you for your blessing ^^, I speedy recover this time. 

Well, still feel dizzy for sometime, but I told my doctor that I didn't want to be in the hospital any longer, haha. I know that many people who are Baking Maniacs will understand me. Spending time sleeping (and have nothing else to do is so boring). As I told you from my last post that I have so many, many things to do. Again, thank you everyone, with your word of encouragement, and blessing, I can bake now ^^.
But the easy recipe is the best (well, I'm always looking for something easy to make, hehe). Mini cheesecake seem to be great, plus it's very easy to make too. As I'm not allowed to take the alcohol now, I choose the recipe that's close to it. 
This Mini Margarita Cheesecake filled with lime and a bit of tequila, with one bite you will get delicious salty taste from the pretzel and lightly tangy lime (plus creamy cheesecake). Because it's so small you don't have to wait for hour to bake and chill it, great it's it?
There is a little trick that will make your cheesecake more cute, when remove from the oven use a small knife run around the side of the cake, because the cake will shirk while cooling this trick will prevent the crack.
