Absolutely delicious! I wanted a thicker crust so I increased 1 1/2 times the crust amount ( 1 1/2 c flour, 3/4 c br sugar, 3/4c chopped walnuts and 3/4 c butter). I finely chopped up 2 c. of fresh strawberries and sprinkled 1T of white sugar over the strawberries to help make it more sweeter and release its' red juices. When I folded the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream, its' juices made a pretty pink color. And when I poured the filling over the crust it made nice pink and white swirls throughout the filling. I froze this dessert for at least 8 hours before cutting into it. Once frozen solid I had no problem cutting into the squares. I placed a dollop of homemade whipped cream from this site,"Sweetened Whipped Cream". This dessert makes a pretty presentation with flecked strawberry bits in the pinkish hue filling. The strawberries are definitely sweet and juicy. The filling itself is light, fluffy and creamy. I like the crunchy toasted walnuts in the crust as well as the topping. It adds a nice texture to the dessert. It is not too sweet -just right. The crust ended up being the right amount for this size dessert and I am glad I increased the amount. We all enjoyed this cool and creamy dessert. Frozen whipped cream blended with chopped strawberries and topped with a crunchy walnut topping, is a refreshing and perfect way to end a hot, humid day here in Hawaii!

This was really good, and not difficult, although time consumong, to make. I was surprised at the instructions to beat the egg whites with the strawberry slices, sugar and lemon juice. Although some reviewers have said it doesn't work, it does. You just have to beat it for a long time. 25 minutes with my hand mixer. This is definitely a recipe for a stand mixer, if you have one. I used real whipping cream, because I don't like Cool Whip. Wil definitely make this again. Thanks!

I don't have a stand mixer, only a hand-held, but taking the people's advice on beating the egg whites first, and then incorporating the ingredients, then beating the whipped cream and adding that in worked great. These were very delicious, but started melting quickly after being taken out of the freezer, so you have to eat them quick!

This is a family favorite that my grandma has been making for as long as I can remember. We have renamed this dish Strawberry Yummy! Be carefully when baking the crust, it can taste burned long before it looks burned!!
