Soda Cracker Pie

By -
Another ward Iron Chef competition today with the secret (yet not so secret) ingredient being Saltine Crackers. I decided to try two and pick one.

The first is mom's sweet potato and butternut squash casserole but for the topping instead of using straight flour, I ground down saltines for it.

Then I tried The Soda Cracker Pie from cooks.com. It looks like a full Meringue cake when you put it in the oven but it looked good. Plus, it had pineapple in the recipe.

SODA CRACKER PIE

3 egg whites
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
18 crushed saltine crackers
1 c. pecans

TOPPING:

1 lg. tub of Cool Whip
1/3 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 lg. can crushed pineapple, drained

Beat egg whites until frothy. Add cream of tartar and beat until stiff. Add sugar gradually and fold in vanilla, crackers and pecans. Spoon into greased 9- inch round dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Cool.TOPPING: Beat Cool Whip, powdered sugar, and vanilla until well mixed. Fold in pineapple. Spread over cake. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
