Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ðF (204ðC).
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar; press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
  3. Bake crust until edges begin to darken, about 8 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and allow crust to cool completely.
  5. Soften strawberry ice cream slightly and spoon it evenly into the cooled crust, smoothing the top.
  6. Place pie in freezer for 25 minutes to set.
  7. Spread softened vanilla ice cream over the frozen strawberry layer.
  8. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
  9. Meanwhile, strain 2 tablespoons of juice from the thawed strawberries.
  10. In a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stir marshmallows with the strawberry juice until melted and smooth.
  11. Remove from heat and let the marshmallow mixture cool completely.
  12. Beat egg whites in a medium bowl until soft peaks form.
  13. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and 1/8 teaspoon salt, beating until stiff but not dry peaks form.
  14. Gently fold the cooled marshmallow mixture into the egg whites.
  15. Spread the meringue evenly over the frozen ice cream layers.
  16. Cover loosely and freeze until ready to serve.
  17. To serve, top each slice with a spoonful of the remaining thawed strawberries.
