Hi all! I hope you are enjoying the long weekend!  I have been on a roll with my organizing, but made sure to set aside time to whip up a fabulous dessert to brin

g to my parents BBQ tonight.

What makes this dessert???  These beautiful, juicy strawberries.

Frozen Strawberries and Cream Dessert (From Pip and Ebby)

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup pecans, toasted
• 4 whole graham crackers, broken into pieces
• 10 tablespoons butter, melted  (yes, this is NOT a healthy recipe)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 egg whites
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• Juice from 1 lemon
• 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups of hulled strawberries, chopped

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Coat an 8×8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.  In a food processor (or a plastic bag) combine pecans and graham crackers.  Process or crush until finely ground.

Add the crumbs to a large bowl, along with melted butter, all-purpose flour and brown sugar.

Mix well.

Spread the crumbs evenly on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring once half way.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine egg whites and sugar (I accidentally used brown). Mix on medium speed  (or wisk) for 3 minutes.

Add heavy whipping cream and mix on medium speed (or wisk) for an additional 6 minutes.

Add juice from 1 lemon and cream cheese and mix on low speed (or wisk) until creamy.
