Ingredients

• 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs I used Keebler brand
• 3 tablespoons butter - melted
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 8 oz brick of cream cheese - softened
• 2 tablespoons tequila
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 1/2 cups Cool Whip - softened
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1-2 drops green food color optional
• Margarita salt to garnish
• 2-3 limes to garnish
• Whipped cream to garnish

Instructions 

• Line 2 (12-count) mini muffin pans with liners.
•  In a medium mixing bowl, add the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar. Stir to mix well.
• Spoon the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each mini muffin liner and press down firmly.  Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Mix for 2 to 3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed or until light and fluffy.
• Mix in the tequila, lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, Cool Whip and lime zest.  Gently mix with a rubber spatula.
• If you would like to add a green tint to the cheesecake mixture, add 1 to 2 drops of green food color. Otherwise, the cheesecake will be white in color.
• Spoon the cheesecake mixture into each mini cup liner, up to the top of each liner.  Sprinkle with margarita salt.
• Cover and freeze overnight or for at least 6 hours.
• Before serving, remove each mini cupcake liner and discard.  Place on a serving platter and garnish with whipped cream and a lime wedge.
