PIE CRUST SHELL:

2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 tbsp. sugar
1/2 stick butter, melted

Mix all ingredients together in a pie plate. Using the bottom of a measuring cup, (I use the 1/2 cup measure), press mixture to bottom and sides of pie plate.

FILLING:

1 pt. ice cream, frozen hard
1 qt. strawberries, sliced & sugared lightly
3 egg whites
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 c. sugar

Add cream of tartar to egg whites and beat until stiff. Fold in sugar a little at a time. Line graham cracker shell with fruit (working fast). Slice ice cream in 4 slices and put on top of fruit. Cover with egg white mixture making sure all sides are covered. Place in preheated 425 degree oven for approximately 5 to 7 minutes until brown. Serve at once. Peaches or raspberries may be substituted for strawberries.
