A Quick No-Bake Treat for the Hot Summer Nights: Margarita Cheesecake Bars

A Quick No-Bake Treat for the Hot Summer Nights: Margarita Cheesecake Bars was pinched from <a href="https://cocotreasure.com/recipes/refreshing-no-bake-dessert-cool-hot-summer-nights-margarita-cheesecake-bars/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cocotreasure.com.</a>

"Summertime, if it’s too hot to cook a big meal, it’s probably too hot to bake dessert. Ice cream is a delicious option when the temperatures soar, but even that sweet treat can get a little tiresome if enjoyed too often. What’s a person to do when their sweet tooth won’t be denied, and baking a cake is out of the question? Our margarita-inspired no-bake dessert will satisfy the need for a sweet-tart, cool and creamy dessert that’s totally chill. Our version does include a splash of your favorite tequila, but if you prefer an alcohol free dessert, omit the liquor and the lemon extract, and add a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice instead. We suggest making two batches of this no-bake dessert and keeping one in the freezer for a quick treat on a hot, busy night...."
