FROZEN STRAWBERRY DELIGHT

Category: Frozen Desserts

Crust
1 cup flour
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
Pinch of salt

2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced in half
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
2 egg whites
8 oz. heavy cream
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp vanilla

Additional quartered strawberries, garnish

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the crust ingredients and bake in a 9x13 pan for 20 minutes.

Stir the brown sugar into the sliced strawberries and let macerate at room temperature for half an hour or until juicy.

Beat the egg whites, lemon juice and sugar until light and fluffy. Then whip the cream until also light and fluffy and then stir into it the vanilla and ginger. Add the strawberries to the whipped cream and then fold in the meringue. Spread the fluffy strawberry filling over the crust, cover well and then freeze overnight or for at least six hours.

Before serving, let it thaw a bit and then cut into squares.

Alternatively, you could freeze the crust and filling into six or eight bowls or glasses and serve it that way.

Garnish with fresh strawberries. Serves 8
