Berry Pecan Dessert

Berry Pecan Dessert

• 6 egg whites
• One-half teaspoon cream of tartar
• 2 cups sugar
• Three-fourths cup chopped pecans
• 2 cups soda cracker crumbs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring
• 2 cups whipping creamed, whipped
• One can pie filling – I used Raspberry but blueberry or cherry would work great

Beat the egg whites until foamy. Beat in the cream of tartar. Gradually add the sugar, beating on high until stiff peaks form. This will take 3-4 minutes. Add the vanilla and beat briefly until blended in. Use a spatula to fold in the pecan bits and cracker crumbs.

Spread into a greased 13” x 9” x 1” baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool in refrigerator until completely cold. Whip the cream and spread it over the crust. When serving, spoon the pie filing over each individual piece.
