Strawberry Squares
1 cup flour
1/2 cup crushed pecans or walnuts
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
2 cups sliced, hulled fresh strawberries
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
For crust, in a bowl combine flour, nuts and brown sugar. Add
melted butter. Toss to combine. Spread in a shallow baking pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden, stirring
occasionally. Spread 2/3 of the crust mixture in a 13x9x2 pan.
Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat 1/2 cup of the whipping cream until soft
peaks form. Add the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice. Beat
mixture well. In another bowl, beat the remaining 1 cup whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into the strawberry mixture.
Transfer to prepared pan. Top with remaining crust mixture.
Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours. Let stand at room
temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
Makes 9-12 servings.
Garnish with additional berries if you wish.
