📝 Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup walnuts (chopped)
• 1/2 cup melted butter (melted)
• 2 cups strawberries (fresh, sliced)
• 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 large egg whites
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup whipping cream (35%, whipped to medium peaks)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350F (non-convection/not fan-assisted)
2. 2Prepare the crumble: In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar and chopped walnuts. Pour melted butter over-top and stir with a fork until crumbly. Scatter mixture onto a baking sheet and place into preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring once or twice while cooking, or until set, but not starting to brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
3. 3Prepare the strawberry mixture: In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the egg whites, white sugar, strawberries and lemon juice. Beat at high speed for 10 minutes. Set aside.
4. 4In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream to medium peaks. Using a spatula, gently fold whipped cream into strawberry mixture.
5. 5Assemble: Scatter 1/2 of the crumble mixture into the bottom of a 8, 9 or 10-inch springform pan (for a cake) or into a 9x13-inch pan for squares. Pour strawberry mixture over-top. Top with remaining crumble mixture. Leave in pan. Cover top with plastic wrap and then a sheet of aluminum foil and freeze at least 6 hours before serving.
6. 6To serve: Dessert is ready to serve right from the freezer, so no need to take it out of the freezer early. Simply remove from the pan and you're good to go.
