Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup pecans, chopped
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the butter, flour, brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Mix until crumbly.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
While the crust cools, add the egg whites and granulated sugar to a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. This may take about 5-6 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mash the fresh strawberries with a fork or a potato masher until you achieve a slightly chunky puree.
Gently fold the strawberry puree into the egg white mixture, taking care not to deflate the fluffy texture.
In another bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with the mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the strawberry and egg white mixture until well combined.
Pour the strawberry mixture evenly over the cooled crust. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
When ready to serve, remove the dessert from the freezer and allow it to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Cut into squares and serve immediately.
