Strawberry Freezer Bars
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
3/4 cup butter, melted
2 pasteurized egg whites
1 cup white sugar
2 cups strawberries, chopped small
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 baking dish.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. In a bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, nuts and melted butter. Toast the mixture in the oven about 15 minutes or until the walnuts are fragrant the mix is lightly brown. Stir occasionally. Sprinkle 2/3 of the mix evenly over the bottom of the 9×13 pan.
In a large bowl, whip the egg whites with the lemon juice until they can hold a soft peak. Gradually add the white sugar while continuing to whip to firm peaks. Fold in the strawberries.
In a separate bowl, whip the cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold the cream into the strawberry mixture. Spoon over the crust in the baking dish and spread evenly. Top with remaining nut and flour mixture.
Freeze overnight or at least 6 hours. Allow to set out 5 minutes before serving.
