20 Delicious Dessert Recipes with Tequila

Tequila and Lime. Those two ingredients are a match made in heaven. Add to it a little sugar along with some other ingredients to make a dessert and you have some amazing and unique recipes. Today, in preparation for Cinco de Mayo, I am sharing with you some of the best recipes I have found on the internet and bring to you 20 Delicious Dessert Recipes with Tequila!

Think Margarita Cake-and-Jello Shots (OMG Amazing!) or Strawberry Margarita Funnel Cake with Key Lime Curd and Tequila Soaked Strawberries! Oh those words (and photos) just make me fall in love all over again with Tequila!

The recipe that inspired me to do this roundup are these Strawberry Margarita Cheesecake Shooters.  Delicious layers of sweet and salty pretzel crumbs, strawberry curd, and tangy no-bake tequila lime cheesecake filling. So delicious that you may want more than just one shooter! These are perfect little party desserts!

Speaking of parties, what's a party without cake and jello shots? The next party I attend (or host) I will be bringing these Margarita Cake-and-Jello Shots from The Kitchen is my Playground. No doubt about it!

Strawberry Margarita Funnel Cake  from Melanie Makes had  me at first sight. If ever I was going to break my diet, it would be for this recipe! Crispy funnel cake, lime curd drizzle and tequila soaked strawberries. I say let's have a house party and make funnel cake!

If you must have your cake and jello separate, then have a stylish birthday party with these fancy Margarita Cupcakes from Renee over at Renee's Kitchen Adventure. I love how piled high that frosting is and how she has decorated her cakes! She can make these for my birthday anytime!

I cannot resist a bundt cake, and if you make it with tequila and lime then I'm all over that baby. The frosting catches your eye and draws you right in. Lemons for Lulu knew what she was doing when she made this Tequila Lime Bundt Cake - the king of cakes!

Need to get your icy tequila dessert kick on? Well look no further than these Spicy Tequila Sunrise Popsicles found over at Floating Kitchen! Jalapeno, Tequila and Orange Juice with a splash of grenadine come together in these amazing popsicles that I know I would become enamored with. After all, I AM the sweet heat girl!

Speaking of Cake, I came across several cupcake recipes that looked and sounded too good to pass up! They all look fabulous, but that Pink Cadillac Margarita Cupcake has a pretty catchy name!
