Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 egg whites
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup whipped cream
• 2 cups sliced strawberries
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup melted butter or margarine

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Stir together flour, walnuts, melted butter, and brown sugar in a medium bowl until well combined. Spread evenly onto a baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

Step 4

Beat egg whites in a large bowl until soft peaks form; continue beating to stiff peaks while slowly adding white sugar. Toss strawberries in lemon juice in a small bowl, then stir into meringue until mixture turns slightly pink. Fold in whipped cream until incorporated.

Step 5

Crumble up walnut mixture and sprinkle 2/3 of it evenly onto the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spoon strawberry mixture over crumbs, then sprinkle remaining crumbs over the top.

Step 6

Place in the freezer until hard, about 2 hours. Remove from the freezer several minutes before serving to make it easier to slice.
