Egg white pie crust
1 Servings
Ingredients
Quantity | Ingredient | |
---|---|---|
¾ | cup | Graham cracker crumbs |
⅓ | cup | Sugar |
½ | cup | Pecan pieces |
3 | Egg whites | |
⅓ | cup | Sugar |
1 | teaspoon | Vanilla |
Directions
Mix together the crumbs, ⅓ cup of the sugar and the pecans. Beat the egg whites until they are stiff, gradually adding the other ⅓ cup of sugar and the vanilla. Add this to the crumb mixture. Pour it into a greased pie pan and bake it at 350 oF for 30 minutes. When it has cooled, mash it down to the shape of the pan. Fill the crust with ice cream and freeze it. Thaw it slightly before serving, and top with your favorite fruit.
Variations: Instead of using ice cream and freezing the pie, just use your favorite filling.
