Frozen Strawberry Squares
These frozen strawberry squares are the perfect summertime treat! Made with fresh strawberries and a creamy filling, they’re sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 1 cup white sugar
- 6 tablespoons pasteurized liquid egg whites
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice or zest of 1 lemon (for a more intense flavor)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped OR ¾cup evaporated milk + ¼cup granulated sugar (for a lighter version)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
2. Combine flour, brown sugar, chopped walnuts, and melted butter and mix well. Spread evenly in a shallow baking pan.
3. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven; when cool enough to handle, sprinkle 2/3 of the crumb mixture into a 13×9-inch baking dish.
4. Mix sliced strawberries with sugar; set aside.
5. Combine egg whites and lemon juice in a large bowl. With electric mixer, beat until stiff (pasteurized whites take longer to beat than fresh egg whites, so be patient). Mix in sugared strawberries.
6. Fold in whipped cream or evaporated milk + granulated sugar mixture . Spoon fruit and cream mixture over crumb crust.
7. Sprinkle remaining crumbs on top.
8. Freeze 6 hours or overnight.
9. Cut into squares and garnish with whole strawberries if desired
