We’re partyin’ it up at FFF again guys.

You know what today is? National Pecan Day! Woo to the hoo!

Two reasons why I decided we must celebrate this momentous day:

1. Well, I REALLY like pecans. Like a lot. As in I-eat-either-this-chicken Salad recipe -or-as-I-call-it-“epic-salad”-everyday-that-I-am-not-eating-Cilantro-Lime-Tilapia-(or-popcorn-*insert-shifty-eyes-here-*)for-dinner kind of a lot

Real life fact: you think food bloggers eat fancy dinners all the time. In reality, popcorn happens A LOT around here.

Just being honest.

2. I may or may not have gotten my hands on a list of all of the Food Holidays in the ENTIRE year. Yes, there will be a lot of upcoming parties. I’m sorry.

But, I’m really not.

Get yo’ part-ay hats ready.

3. I happen to have a special little recipe that is all close to my heart and stuff, and it happens to have pecans.

Sidenote: I’m currently sitting at the computer trying really hard to type something witty for you but, with all this talk of parties, I can only picture a little group of pecans in a little pecan house wearing little, pink (because everything is better in pink) party hats and holding pecan shaped party balloons.

And singing. Because you HAVE to sing when you’re at a party. Everybody knows this.

Partying, singing pecans in hats is a REALLY weird picture.

Why does my brain do this?

Okay, I’m good now.

So, if you’ve ever wondered what to do with frozen strawberries, then this dessert is for YOU.

Although, vegan banana ice cream bars or neapolitan no bake chocolate tart would also be good choices. just FYI.

Like I mentioned, this healthy frozen strawberry dessert recipe is really close to my heart as it happens to be what my brother and I requested for our birthday “cake” (we’re twins, so our birthday was always the same day) EVERY SINGLE YEAR when we were wee little kidlets.

Birthday parties. Pecans in party hats. Can’t. Stop.

Anyway.  This recipe truly was, and still is to this VERY DAY, one of my FAVORITE healthy dessert ideas EVER. More than ANY other frozen strawberry recipes out there.

I’m pretty sure my momma was more than happy to oblige with our yearly request because

  1. She’s awesome and shes loves me real well.
  2. Out of all the desserts I could have picked, Strawberry freeze is one of those EASY HEALTHY DESSERTS that comes together in a SNAP.  FOR REAL.

It goes like this:

Cut pecans (hardest part – and I bet you could even use a food processor!) >> toast pecans >> Put frozen strawberries, sugar subtitute and egg whites (protein!) into blender and walk away >> Watch “Grey’s Anatomy” (optional but recommended) >> Come back and put pecan crumbs in a dish >> Throw on strawberry mix >> Throw on the rest of pecans >>  DONE

Oh, and you should totally make it RIGHT before you have peeps over because your house is going to smell like toasty-party-hat-wearing-pecan Heaven.

And now you’re wondering what that even smells like. I guess you’re going to have to make it now to find out.

See what I did there?  Muahahahah

Ingredients

For the crumbs:

  • 6 Tbsp Ghee, melted
  • 1 1/2 Cups Oat Flour (GF if needed)
  • 1/2 Cup Coconut sugar, packed
  • 3/4 Cup Pecans finely chopped

For the filling:

  • 2 Egg whites
  • 3/4 Cup Monkfruit (or granulated sweetener of choice)
  • 15 oz Frozen whole strawberries partially thawed
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together all of the crumb ingredients.
  3. Spread the crumbs evenly onto a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15-20 mins, stirring twice during the cooking process.

  4. While the crumbs bake, place all of the strawberry filling ingredients in large bowl and beat on high until it thickens, about 10 mins. I used my Kitchenaid stand mixer, set it to high and walked away and let it do it's thang.

  5. Once the crumbs are finished, spread them in the bottom of 9x13 pan, reserving 1 cup for the top.
  6. Pour the filling onto the crumb base and smooth.
  7. Sprinkle with the remaining crumbs.
  8. Freeze it until set, about 4 hours.
  9. DEVOUR.

  5. I sorta want to eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Totally cool, right? Here is my funny story about Millionaire Matchmaker. I once went to this blogger event and there was this other blogger there and I kept looking at her and thinking “how do I know this person?” I knew I had never read her blog so it wasn’t from her blog. Then all of a sudden it hit me. I saw her on an episode of Millionaire Matchmaker….haha.

    • Um heck yes, totally cool! In fact, recommended.
      Haha that is too funny! That show is the greatest ever. Patti rocks my socks

  10. Taylor you are the queen of food related holidays!

    It would be lovely to come home to this dessert – if only I could get those “Singing pecans in pecan birthday hats with pecan shaped party balloons” of yours to pop into my house and mix up all the ingredients and have this ready and waiting…oooh – I think I would be over the moon! 🙂

    • Haha I think i’ll send them over to your house when I’m done partyin’ with them!! Thanks Shashi! 😀

  12. I love party pecans, especially the ones which dance and stuff hehe. And strawberries, I adore those as well… which means that this dessert needs to happen like right now. And it would, if I hadn’t eaten all the strawberries today whoops ;–) Looks lovely!

    • I was pondering GF, but wanted to keep it true to childhood! If you try it, lemme know…thanks lovely lady! 😀

  23. 1. Xtreme yum
    2. That picture of the singing and dancing pecans reminds me of the video Marcel the Shell with Shoes on for some reason?
    3. I want this because as we speak I’m downing frozen fruit. It’s obviously an obsession that I have no problem with or desire for getting over
    4. That is all

    Reply

    • I FORGOT ABOUT MARCEL..OH MY GOSH I LOVE HIM. Thanks for the reminder….and that is defs not an obsession you ever need to get over in all the evers. Thanks lovely!

  28. I would like the nutritional information on this recipe as I observe a diabetic way of eating!
    Thank so much….this sounds utterly divine!

    Reply

  29. Pecans, my favorite nuts ! I’d like to get the nutritional data for this recipe. I have several
    diabetic friends who would steal for this dessert !!! Any chance of finding out the facts?
    Thanks for such a wonderfully refreshing addition to my dessert box.

    • So I actually called my Mom in Canada about this last night to ask, since she invented the recipe. She said she thinks 6 weeks would be too long. She figured 4 weeks was probably the max, and as long as you covered it REALLY tight and put it in a deep freeze! Of course, I really can’t tell you as no one has ever tried leaving that long but I hope that helps!!

  36. Hi Taylor,
    I am just writing because I was really encouraged by your bold statement of faith. Keep up the good work.
    I am a pensioner from South Africa. I do the cooking because my wife is still working. I like browsing recipes and sometimes try out new ones if all the ingredients are at hand.
    Thank you.

  37. I’m sitting here looking at a box of popsicle molds I ordered from Amazon to make a really healthy nightly treat (instead of the pint of Cherry Garcia) and thinking that this strawberry filling would go nicely in there as well. I’m a nut, but not a nut freak (heresy?) so I think it’d be plenty good plain. As a popsicle. Mwahahaha. Waddayathink?

  39. So you add all ingredients to make the base in your kitchen aid!!?? The strawberries are still frozen?? Won’t they fly out?? I’m asking because I want to make it NOW! Looks Devine 🙂

    • You add all the ingredients for the strawberry layer – not the crust/pecan bottom! And, like the recipe says, use partially thawed strawberries so they don’t fly out! lol 🙂 Let me know if you try!

  40. DELISH! The sweetener I had on hand was Swerve and I’ll bet it’s even better with Monk Fruit – will try next batch with that.

    Thank you for sharing an awesome recipe.

  47. I see you’ve claimed this is dairy free yet the ingredients include ghee-clarified butter-Dairy! Can you update so people who aren’t in the know don’t make a mistake and serve to people allergic to dairy?
