How to Make Frozen Strawberry Crunch Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups flour, ¾ cup brown sugar, 1 cup chopped walnuts, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  3. Mix well until evenly combined.
  4. Stir in ½ cup melted butter until the mixture is crumbly.
  5. Transfer the crumble mixture to a large baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until golden brown and fragrant.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  8. In a large bowl, beat 4 egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  9. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating constantly until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  10. Gently fold in 2 cups sliced strawberries and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  11. Continue beating for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  12. Carefully fold in 1 cup whipped cream, being sure not to deflate the egg whites.
  13. Butter a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
  14. Evenly distribute half of the cooled crumble mixture into the prepared dish.
  15. Carefully spoon the strawberry mixture over the crumble layer, spreading evenly.
  16. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the strawberry layer.
  17. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
