Since Lynn's birthday is in the middle of summer, her mother used to make this as Lynn's birthday "cake" when she was growing up.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 8 to 10

Ingredients

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1 pint strawberry ice cream, slightly softened
1 pint vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
1 16-ounce package frozen unsweetened strawberries, thawed, undrained
16 large marshmallows
2 egg whites, room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter and 2 tablespoons sugar and press into 9-inch-diameter pie pan with 1 1/2-inch-high sides. Bake until edges begin to darken, about 8 minutes. Cool completely.

    Step 2

    Spoon strawberry ice cream evenly into crust. Freeze 25 minutes. Spread vanilla ice cream over. Cover tightly and freeze until firm, about 1 hour. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead.)

    Step 3

    Strain 2 tablespoons juice from strawberries. Stir marshmallows with juice in heavy small saucepan over low heat until melted. Cool completely.

    Step 4

    Meanwhile, beat whites in medium bowl to soft peaks. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and salt and beat until stiff but not dry. Fold in cooled marshmallows. Spread over ice cream. Cover and freeze until ready to serve. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Refrigerate thawed berries.) Serve pie, topping each piece with spoonful of strawberries.
