Frozen Strawberry Squares

Recipe View 5 mins Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, chopped walnuts, and melted butter. Mix well until evenly moistened. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 30 mins Spread the mixture evenly in a shallow baking pan and bake for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle 2/3 of the crumb mixture into a 13x9-inch baking dish, pressing lightly to form a crust. (30 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins In a separate bowl, mix the sliced strawberries with sugar and set aside to macerate, allowing the strawberries to release their juices and create a flavorful syrup. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 15 mins In a large bowl, combine the pasteurized liquid egg whites and lemon juice. Using an electric mixer, beat until stiff peaks form. Be patient, as pasteurized whites may take longer than fresh whites. (15 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Gently fold in the sugared strawberries and their juices into the whipped egg whites. Then, fold in the whipped cream until just combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Spoon the fruit and cream mixture evenly over the crumb crust. Sprinkle the remaining crumbs on top. (5 minutes)
