RITZ CRACKER DESSERT

Alice Erickson's RITZ CRACKER DESSERT

We enjoyed this wonderful dessert after our Rhubarb Leaf/Hyper-Tufa workshop. It was delicious!

50 Ritz crackers (crushed)
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
6 egg whites
2 cups * whipped cream (can use Cool Whip)
1 can angel flake coconut (or amount desired)
Combine crushed crackers and chopped nuts in a large bowl.
Whip egg whites until stiff then slowly add sugar and vanilla.
Combine with crackers and nuts and spread into a buttered 9 x 13 pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a light brown. Cool
completely. When cool spread whipped cream over top and
sprinkle with the coconut. CHILL OVERNIGHT.
*I add about 2 tbsp. powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla to the
whipped cream.
