Ingredients
  

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Place the almonds into a food processor and grind until almost a powder but with small bits of almonds, and set aside.
  • Whisk together flour, sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl
  • Add the butter and flour mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer on low speed until it looks crumbly
  • Reserve ½ cup of the butter and flour mixture for the topping
  • Press the remaining crumbly mixture into a well greased 9X9 square baking pan
  • Add ground almonds, powdered sugar, almond extract and egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on high speed for 4 minutes. Then pour into the pan over top of the crumble (it will have a liquid consistency)
  • Lay the sliced strawberries in a even layer across the top of the egg white mixture, and sprinkle remaining crumble over the top
  • Bake in the oven at 350 for 50-60 minutes until the middle is fully set and the edges are a light golden brown
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes
  • In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar with milk and stir together until smooth
  • Use a spatula to gently remove bars from the square pan and place on parchment paper and drizzle glaze over the top of each bar
