Ingredients 

Crust

3 egg whites

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup round cracker crumbs (like Ritz)

1 cup pecans, chopped

Filling

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoons vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon almond extract

½ cup pecans

Directions 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray a 9-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Beat the egg whites until foaming. Add in the sugar a little at a time, mixing in between. Add in vanilla.
4. Beat until soft peaks form.
5. Using a food processor, crush up the cracker crumbs.
6. Add cracker crumbs and 1 cup chopped pecans to the meringue and carefully fold together.
7. Pour into the pie pan and spread out with the back of a spoon, pulling the meringue up along the sides of the pan.
8. Bake for 30 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
9. For the filling, mix the heavy cream, sugar, and extracts in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whip with a hand-held mixer until thick. Spoon into the cold pie shell, and then sprinkle ½ cup of pecans around the outside edges of the cream.
10. Top with whipped cream.

 Makes 8 servings.
