Salt                                                1/3 tsp            ½ tsp
Vanilla                                        2 tsp            1 TBS
Whipping Cream                        1 1/3 Cup        2 Cups
Canned Milk                                2 2/3 cans        4 cans
Regular milk                            4 Cups        6 Cups
*Chopped Almonds                    5-6 ounces        9 ounces

Beat eggs in mixer with ½ of the sugar.  Melt chocolate and add salt and vanilla.  Cool chocolate.  Add to egg mixture.  Beat well.  Add remaining sugar and canned milk.  Pour into freezer can and add cream and milk last to about 4 ½ inches from the top of can.  Freeze, and when starting to stiffen add nuts.

*Toasted salted chopped almonds - spread whole almonds on cookie sheet and sprinkle with vegetable oil and stir.  Bake 5 minutes at 400 stirring and watching until pale tan.  Watch carefully so they don’t brown too much or they become bitter.  Remove to a bread board and chop some (or you can use slivered almonds).  Sprinkle with a little salt, let cool.

Bev's Strawberry Dessert

1  Cup flour

1/4 Cup brown sugar
1/2 Cup chopped pecans
1/2 Cup melted butter

2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
2 TBS lemon juice
 Cup heavy cream, whipped

Combine flour, brown sugar, pecans and butter.  Spread out on a large cookie sheet 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.  Bake in preheated 350 oven for 15 minutes until just brown.  Cool, then crush with a rolling pin to make crust.

Place egg whites, sugar, strawberries and lemon juice in large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until thick and creamy - about 10 minutes.  Fold in whipped cream.  Sprinkle approximately 2/3 of crumbs on bottom of 9 x 13 pan.  Spread strawberry mixture over crust and top with remaining crumbs.  Cover and freeze at least 6 hours.   I have used frozen strawberries - that works fine.  I usually top with a dollop of whipped cream and then a sliced and swirled strawberry garnish like the picture that is attached.
