In Union Grove, Wisconsin, Julie Moyer stirs chocolate cookie crumbs and chopped nuts into a meringue mixture to create this rich dessert. It's sweetly priced at a mere 22¢ a wedge. Ingredients:
3 egg whites |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3/4 cup sugar |
3/4 cup crushed chocolate wafers |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, beat egg whites and vanilla on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form. Gently fold in the wafer crumbs and nuts. Spread into a greased 9-in. pie plate.
2. Bake at 300° for 30-40 minutes or until the top appears dry and is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
3. In another bowl, beat the whipping cream and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over the pie. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours. Yield: 8 servings.
