Table of Contents

Ingredients:

4 egg whites
1 cup white sugar

1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a pie dish lightly or line it with parchment paper.

Beat the egg whites: In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This might take a couple of minutes with an electric mixer.
Add the sugar: Gradually add the white sugar to the egg whites while continuing to beat until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Fold in the other ingredients: Gently fold in the crushed Ritz crackers, chopped pecans, and vanilla extract. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites too much.

Bake the pie: Spoon the mixture into the pie dish and bake for about 20 minutes. The pie should be lightly golden on top but still soft inside. It’s more like a meringue crust rather than a traditional pie.
Cool it down: Let the pie cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, spread the Cool Whip evenly on top.
Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours, or until it’s nice and firm.

Serve: Slice and enjoy! This pie is surprisingly delicious, with a creamy Cool Whip topping and a crunchy, nutty, and slightly salty base.
