Description

This version of Mystery Pie is 35 years old. Airy meringue enfolds crunchy crackers and pecans, all tucked under a smooth layer of whipped cream.

Ingredients
  • 3 egg whites
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 20 buttery round crackers, crushed
  • ¾ cup chopped pecans
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease an 8 inch pie pan.
  2. 2. In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until whites form stiff peaks. Fold in crackers, 3/4 cup pecans, and vanilla extract. Pour mixture into pie pan.
  3. 3. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until firm and lightly browned. Remove and cool.
  4. 4. In a medium bowl, combine whipping cream and brown sugar. Beat until soft peaks form. Spread over cooled pie. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup pecans and refrigerate until ready to serve.
