Frosted Strawberry Squares

This is one of the foods I really fondly remember eating as a child.  My mom always made wonderful food.

Frosted Strawberry Squares (from my mom, Wendy)
Crust:
1 c. flour
1/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. chopped pecans

Mix flour & sugar and cut in butter.  Add nuts.  Put on a cookie sheet and bake about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Cool, then press 2/3 of the mixture on the bottom of a 9x13" pan.

2 c. sliced strawberries
1 c. sugar
2 egg whites, beaten stiff
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
Mix together, then fold in
1 c. whipped cream

Spoon strawberry mixture into pan and sprinkle with remaining 1/3 crumb mixture.  Freeze for 2-3 hours, till firm.  Serve immediately after removing from freezer.
