I had a request for this pie but I didn't completely like any of the recipes I looked at so I decided to create my own. This is a light and refreshing dessert and super easy to put together. Your family will request this often.

Heat on medium Heat stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from Heat and slowly stir into crushed strawberry mixture. Refrigerate for about an hour to an hour and a half until partially set.
Whip egg whites until stiff peaks form. in a separate bowl, whip the cream with 2 tbsp sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites and half of the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture until blended. Pour half of the strawberry mixture into each graham cracker crust and refrigerate for about four hours until completely set.
