My grandpa gave me many of my grandmother's and great-grandmother's recipes, including this one, along with may wonderful stories about them. Ingredients:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
2 egg whites |
2/3 cup sugar, divided |
2 teaspoons water |
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1 package (10 ounces) frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Place in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown; cool on a wire rack. Set aside 1/3 cup for topping; sprinkle remaining nut mixture into a lightly greased 13-in. x 9-in. dish.
2. In a large saucepan, combine the egg whites, 1 tablespoon sugar, water and cream of tartar over low heat. With a portable mixer, beat on low speed for 1 minute. Continue beating on low speed until mixture reaches 160°. Pour into a large bowl. Add strawberries, lemon juice and remaining sugar; beat on high for 8 minutes or until light and fluffy.
3. In another large bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into strawberry mixture. Transfer to prepared dish; sprinkle with the reserved nut mixture. Cover and freeze for 6 hours or overnight. Yield: 8-10 servings.
