~*~ Frozen Strawberry Squares ~*~


Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup slivered & chopped almonds
1/2 cup melted butter
2 egg whites
1/2 cup granulated sugar
10 fluid ounces whipping cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries, smashed

Directions: Preheat oven to 325° F. Combine the flour, brown sugar, almonds and melted butter and spread in 8x8" pan. Bake at 325°F for 20 minutes. Stir it a couple of times. Then cool. Once cooled, evenly press 2/3 of the mixture into the 8x8" pan to create a crust. Beat the egg whites and granulated sugar until stiff. Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently combine the beaten egg whites, whipped cream, lemon juice and crushed strawberries. Spread the mixture over crust. Sprinkle remaining crust/crumb mixture on top. Freeze for 3-6 hours. Cut into squares. Garnish with additional strawberries if desired. Enjoy! ~ Chef ~
