    Strawberry Nilla Dessert

    List of Ingredients




    Virginia Strawberry Treat

    1 pound butter, softened
    2 1/2 cups sugar
    1 quart strawberries, hulled and quartered
    1 cup chopped pecans, toasted-see below for directions
    3 egg whites, beaten until stiff
    1 (12-ounce) box vanilla wafers, crushed
    Cream butter and sugar. Fold in strawberries, nuts, and beaten egg whites.

    Recipe



    Line a 13 x 9 x 2" glass baking or serving dish with one-third of wafer crumbs. Spoon on a layer of half the berry mixture, add another one-third of the crumbs, the remaining berry mixture, and the last third of the crumbs.
    Chill several hours or overnight. To serve, cut into squares.

    Makes 15 to 18 servings.

    Toast pecans either of these ways:
    Place in a shallow baking pan. Bake at 350º for 15 to 20 minutes or until pecans are lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Cool.

    Place in skillet over medium heat and toast, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. Be careful not to burn nuts.
