Recipe Talk

Came across a recipe in a community cookbook (short list of recipes to help one decide if they wanted to purchase the book ). It was called Pink Mystery Pie. A cousin made a "PINK PIE" some years back and this might be it. Was on one of my famous eating regimens so had sucha small, small piece. I'd love to know if pink mystery pie is the same thing--but not interested in buying the book from Ebay to find out. Thanks.

Mystery Pie

Submitted by: Charlotte

Yields: 8
servings

" This is a wonderful pie that whips up in one bowl. And there 's no crust to mess with. The simple filling is made from sweetened, whipped egg whites, a bit of baking soda, and a splash of vanilla. Cracker crumbs and chopped pecans are folded in, and then the light and luscious batter is spooned into a pie plate and baked. Just before serving, top it with whipped cream and seasonal fruit."

INGREDIENTS:

3 egg whites

1 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

18 buttery round crackers, crushed

2/3 cup chopped pecans

1 cup frozen whipped topping,

thawed

1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries,

sliced

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9 inch pie pan.
2. In a large glass or metal bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Mix together sugar and baking powder, then slowly add mixture to egg whites, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in vanilla extract. Fold in crushed crackers and pecans. Spread mixture evenly into pie pan.
3. Place pie in preheated oven and reduce temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Bake for 30 minutes. Cool thoroughly. Top with whipped topping and fresh fruit.
