MILE HIGH STRAWBERRY PIE

 

Prepare a graham cracker crust in a 9 or 10 pie pan

 

1 10 oz package frozen strawberries, thawed

¾ cup of sugar

3 egg whites

1 Tbs lemon juice (I hardly ever use this, and Ive never seen it in a printed version of the recipe.  I think it was Grandmas addition.)

1 cup whipping cream

1 tsp vanilla

 

Combine strawberries, sugar, egg whites and lemon juice in mixer bowl and beat at medium-high speed for 15 to 20 minutes, until very stiff.

 

Beat chilled whipping cream with vanilla until stiff.*

 

Fold cream into strawberry mixture.  Pile into prepared crust.  Freeze several hours, or overnight.

 

*Make sure the cream is whipped fairly stiff.  If its too soft, the mixture tends to settle over the sides of the pie pan.
