Spread it!
I have shared this recipe with you before but here it is again with more pictures and a few updates. Thanks to reader Nina who gave me the idea to cut some sugar-it tastes great with 1/4 cup less sugar!
This dessert is light, fluffy and melt in your mouth delicious. It’s very easy to make too!
Graham Pie Crust
9″ use about 20 square crackers
1/3 cup butter
3 Tablespoons sugar
8′ use about 16 square crackers
1/4 cup butter
2 Tablespoons sugar
I put the crackers in a ziploc bag, then crush the crackers with a rolling pin. I then put the crumbs in a bowl, so that I can wash and use the bag again, then add the sugar. Add the butter in slowly! Too much butter makes a hard crust. The mixture should be wet, but should be able to crumble easily. Once you mixed it well pour it into the pie pan and press with a spoon. Bake about 6 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
Mile High Strawberry Pie
1 9″ graham pie shell 1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar ( I used 3/4 cup) 1 Tablespoon Lemon juice
2 egg whites 1 cup whipped cream (cool whip works great)
pinch of salt
pinch of salt
1 package frozen strawberries 10 oz. or 15 fresh strawberries
Start with a LARGE bowl, this mixture will puff up more than you can imagine! Combine sugar, egg whites, strawberries, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt. Beat at high speed for 12 to 15 minutes until thick, fluffy, and voluminous.
Gently fold whipped cream into mixture and pile into baked pie shell.
Cover well with plastic wrap or foil and freezer several hours before serving. This pie can be frozen for up to three weeks. To serve remove from freezer and eat immediately. ENJOY!
