This is literally the BEST frozen Strawberry dessert out there. I mean it. But I’m not a chocolate person mind you. I’ve come to the conclusion that there are two distinct groups of people in the world when it comes to desserts. There are those that prefer chocolate anything or chocolate cake to be precise, and those that prefer something fruity or pie to be specific. I am the later. My whole family was always a little fruity… ahem, I mean we preferred fruit over chocolate. We always chose blueberry pie or strawberry shortcake for birthdays, over regular cake. My mom has been making this dessert for me since I was little, so much that we have always called it “Sarah’s special dessert.” I always requested that she doubles the crunchy topping to make it extra crunchy! I hope you enjoy it too!!

do you whip the egg whites, or just mix them raw with the strawberries? this seems risky, chance for salmonella.
Sarah Lemp
Yes, whip the egg whites for 10 minutes with the whipping cream. If using the raw egg makes you uneasy, you could omit them and just use the whipping cream. You may not get it quite as fluffy, but it will still taste the same!

thanks for clarifying that. We are overrun with raspberries right now–I think I may try it with raspberries.

Oh that sounds great! I would love to know how it turns out :)
