How to Make Aunt Ollie's Strawberry Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups flour, 1 cup chopped walnuts, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and ½ cup softened butter. Mix until crumbly.
  3. Press the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  4. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, set aside about ⅓ cup of the crumble mixture.
  5. In a large bowl, beat together 2 cups sliced strawberries, 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture.
  7. Pour the strawberry mixture over the cooled walnut crumble in the 9x13 inch pan.
  8. Sprinkle the reserved ⅓ cup crumble mixture over the top.
  9. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. Remove from the freezer about 15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
