Yummy, creamy, fruity, crunchy frozen dessert!
Here I am, back at home in Minnesota, where the beach is no longer in sight. Vacation was wonderful! The house we rented looked directly out onto the ocean. I got better sleep than I have in months and I was in the very best company. It was a lovely and very much-needed trip.
But I am always happy to come home, thanks to the wonderful little family that I have been blessed with. I got home after 1am, yet jumped eagerly out of bed at 7am to hug my monkeys. And now I have to start switching modes. Tomorrow Elijah will be having his 8th heart cath at Children’s Hospital. So long vacation, and hello hospital.
Can I share one of my favorite photos from my trip? These are the beautiful, fun ladies I spent the majority of my time with.
This frozen dessert seemed like the perfect one to share since it screams warm weather. Although, the weather wasn’t exactly warm the entire time we were in California. That’s ok. The ocean made up for it.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat an 8×8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. In a food processor, combine the pecans and graham cracker pieces. Process until finely ground. Add the crumbs to a large bowl, along with the butter, flour and brown sugar. Mix well. Spread the crumbs evenly on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring once half way.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine egg whites and sugar. Using a hand-held mixer, mix on medium speed for 3 minutes. Add whipping cream and mix on medium speed for an additional 6 minutes. Add lemon juice and cream cheese and mix on low speed until creamy. Gently fold in strawberries with a spoon.
Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with strawberry-cream mixture, followed by the remaining crumbs. Cover with foil and freeze for a minimum of 3 hours before serving.

sherbet, frozen dessert usually flavoured with fruit, made from water, sugar, flavourings, and milk or cream. Egg white or gelatin may be added to ensure a fine texture.
If cooking your berries into a pie filling, you may need to add additional thickening agents because frozen berries tend to release more liquid than fresh and will lead to a runnier consistency. For best results in your baking, don't defrost the berries before use but instead toss them in flour.
To minimize the formation of ice crystals (the real culprit of sogginess, they break down the berries' structure, so they become soft when defrosted), it's best to flash-freeze them. This entails freezing them in a single layer, rapidly exposing them to the freezer's cold air.
It's pretty similar to soft-serve ice cream, but it has less air whipped into it during freezing, which creates a uniquely rich, creamy texture, as do the added egg yolks that are a part of the recipe.
Campino sweets are basically the dream confectionary situation. The strawberry and cream-flavoured sweets made the UK a better place to live (fact), and ever since they hit the treat trash heap with the likes of the Cadbury Dream Egg - RIP - we've been waiting for a way to bring them back into our lives once again.

Ice cream is a creamy, frozen dessert that's primarily made from dairy products like milk and cream, combined with sugar and flavorings. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stipulates that traditional ice cream must contain at least 10% milk fat.
Full of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, strawberries have been found to protect heart health, boost immunity, lower blood pressure, prevent cancer, and increase HDL (good) cholesterol.
There is no need to defrost frozen strawberries before using or cooking. Blitz them in a strawberry smoothie, cook in a pan with sugar to make compotes and strawberry jam, or bake in desserts like our strawberry & almond cheesecake sponge.
The short answer is to follow what the recipe instructs you to do. If a recipe calls for frozen strawberries, you can add them frozen. If a recipe calls for frozen and thawed strawberries, make sure to thaw the strawberries before you follow the recipe.
