Frozen Strawberry Crunch Cake

oh wow, thank you very much.  
Ingredients:
box Nature Valley Granola Bars (Oats 'n Honey)
1/3 
cup brown sugar
1/2 
cup flour
tablespoons melted butter
egg whites
1/2 
cup sugar
cup heavy whipping cream
lemon
ounces cream cheese
1 1/2 
cups freshly chopped strawberries

Directions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Place the Nature Valley granola bars in a food processor and process until you achieve a course crumb.
  • In a large bowl, add the crumbs, brown sugar, flour, and melted butter and mix together.  Spread into an 8x8-inch pan that has been covered with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool. Then divide granola in half and set aside.  Wash the 8x8 pan...you'll need it again.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine eggs whites and sugar and mix on high. Add the heavy cream and continue mixing for about 5 minutes.
  • To the mixture, add the fresh squeezed lemon juice and softened cream cheese. Mix on low speed until incorporated, then fold in the fresh strawberries.
  • In a buttered 8x8-inch pan, press half of the crumb crust mixture on the bottom. Top with strawberry mix and then add the remaining crumbs to the top.
  • Cover and freeze for three hours or more and enjoy!
