Ingredients

• 4 graham cracker sheets
• 1/2 cup pecans
• 10 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup flour
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 egg whites
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• Juice from 1 lemon
• 4 ounce cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups coarsely chopped strawberries

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 and prepare a 9×13 by spraying with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a food processor, combine graham crackers and pecans until finely ground.
Melt butter and combine with crumbs, flour, and brown sugar.
Spread mixture in the bottom of a parchment lined pan and cook for 20 minutes, stirring halfway.
Take out the crumb mixture and let cool.
In a kitchenaid, or using a hand mixer, beat egg whites and sugar on medium speed for 3 minutes. Add heavy cream and mix for 6 minutes.
Add juice from one lemon and cream cheese and mix until creamy.
Gently fold in chopped strawberries.
Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of your 9×13 pan. Spread strawberries and cream mixture on top and sprinkle the rest of your crumb mixture on top.
Cover with aluminum foil and freeze for at least 3 hours but best if overnight. I also found that if you let it sit out 10 minutes before cutting it is easier to remove the bars.
