3 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. chopped walnuts
1/2 c. finely crushed saltine crackers
1 tsp. baking powder
1 c. whipping cream

Beat egg whites and vanilla until foamy. Gradually add 1 cup sugar, beating to stiff peaks.

Mix together nuts, crackers and baking powder. Fold into egg whites. Spread into greased 9 inch pie plate. Bake on 300 degrees about 40 minutes or until dry on outside.

Just before serving, whip cream. Spread over torte.

Do not add sugar into cream, since the crust is quite sweet.
