14 small soda crackers
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup chopped walnuts
3 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup whipping cream (1/2 pint)
4 Tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
Crush crackers fine. Add baking powder and walnuts. Mix well and set aside.
Beat egg whites until stiff, adding sugar gradually. Add vanilla. Stir in cracker mixture. Pour into greased pie pan and bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Cool 2 hours.
Beat whipping cream and add powdered sugar and vanilla. Spread over pie. Let set in refrigerator for 6-8 hours or overnight.
