Strawberry Freeze

I was browsing for a healthy strawberry recipe and came across thisrecipe from Food Faith Fitness & it is something I definitely want to give a try. One of my favorite fruits is strawberry, so naturally I love desserts made with it. This is also a low calorie, and low fat recipe, and it is supposed to be simple to make. Which is an added bonus because time is one of the top things I hear when people want to begin eating healthier.

Ingredients:

Bread Crumbs:

• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 3/4 cup peans, finely chopped

Strawberry Filling:

• 2 egg whites
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 15 oz frozen strawberries, partially thawed
• 2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In a large bowl mix together all of the crumb ingredients
3. Spread the crumbs evenly onto a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes, stirring twice during the cooking process.
4. While the crumbs bake, place all of the strawberry filling ingredients in a large bowl and beat, using an electric hand mixer, on high until it thickens, about 10 minutes.
5. Once the crumbs are finished, spread them in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Reserve 1 cup for the topping
6. Pour the filling onto the crumb base and smooth.
7. Sprinkle with the remaining bread crumbs
