Brownie Meringue Pie

In a small bowl, beat egg whites and vanilla on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form. Gently fold in the wafer crumbs and nuts. Spread into a greased 9-in. pie plate.

Bake at 300 degrees F for 30-40 minutes or until the top appears dry and is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

In another mixing bowl, beat the whipping cream and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over the pie. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours.
