Zo Pie

Submitted by Jeannie

16 Ritz crackers

3 Egg whites

1/2 Teaspoon baking powder sifted together with

1 Cup sugar

2/3 Cup chopped nuts, either pecans or walnuts

1 Teaspoon vanilla

Topping:

1/2 Pint whipping cream

Sugar to taste

Place crackers and nuts in a blender and whirl until quite fine. Beat

egg whites until stiff, gradually adding sugar mixture when the whites

are almost stiff. Fold in nut-cracker mixture all at once and add

vanilla. Pour into lightly greased 8" pie plate and bake 350 for 30

minutes. Cool completely.

Whip cream, sweeten with sugar and spread over entire top of cooled

pie. Garnish with either cocoa or curls of chocolate. Refrigerate at

least three hours but it's better if you wait eight hours before

serving.
