Strawberry Squares

Strawberry Squares

1 cup flour
1/2 cup crushed pecans or walnuts
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine softened
1 1/2 cup whipping cream
2 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp. lemon juice

For crust, in a bowl combine flour, nuts and brown sugar. Add melted butter. Toss to combine. Spread in a shallow baking pan. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until golden, stirring occasionally. Spread 2/3 of the crust mixture in a 9x13 pan. Set aside. In a mixing bowl beat 1/2 C. of the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice. Beat mixture well. In another bowl, beat the remaining 1 C. whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into the strawberry mixture. Transfer to prepared pan. Top with remaining crust mixture. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
