My area is known for its strawberries, so I prepare this delicious and easy treat often. It always gets raves and prompts recipe requests.Lynne Wilhelm, West Hill, Ontario Ingredients:
3 egg whites |
1-1/2 cups sugar, divided |
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/2 cup crushed saltines (about 15 crackers) |
1/2 cup flaked coconut |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
2 cups heavy whipping cream |
1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin |
1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and cream of tartar, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in crumbs, coconut and pecans. Spread onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-in. pie plate.
2. Bake at 375° for 20-22 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely. In a bowl, beat cream, gelatin and remaining sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in strawberries; pour into shell. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Yield: 10-12 servings.
