Strawberry Dessert

This is a Wirthlin favorite, and it's now become one of mine.

Crust:

• 1 c. flour
• 1/4 c. brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 c. chopped nuts (Lis says it works fine without nuts if you don't have them)

Spread on baking sheet and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally. Let cool completely.

Filling:

• 2 egg whites
• 2 T. lemon juice
• 1 carton frozen strawberries, thawed (I don't really know why you have to freeze them and then thaw them)
• 1 c. sugar

Beat in bowl on high speed to form peaks. Fold in 1 c. whipped cream.

Sprinkle ~2/3 of your nut mixture in a 9x13 pan. Add filling, then top with remaining nuts.

Cover and freeze until ready to eat (make sure to give yourself enough time to let it freeze! That was a mistake I made the first time we did this). Serve cold.
