Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 0.5 cup Pecans, chopped
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and mashed
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and brown sugar.
Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped pecans.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form a crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the mashed strawberries into the whipped egg white mixture.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture until fully combined.
Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until firm.
Once frozen, remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes for easier slicing.
Cut into squares and serve immediately.
