Pecan Pie (really more of a torte)

This is Grace and Hunter's favorite pecan pie recipe.  It's really more of a torte.

Cooking time 30 minutes ate 350 degrees. Make day ahead.

11 whole graham crackers - all 4 sections (this is one sleeve in a box of crackers), crushed.

3 egg whites - beat these separately to a froth

1 cup sugar 

1 cup pecan pieces.   I like to mine really finely chopped

1- 2 tsp vanilla.  Recipe officially calls for 1 but I like vanilla so I use 2.

Cool whip or whip cream for topping. Honestly cool whip works very well.

Mix dry ingredients together. Fold in dry ingredients and vanilla to beaten egg whites.

Pour into 8 inch greased (sprayed with Pam) shallow pie pan.

Bake.

Cool.

Top thickly with whipped cream.  Refrigerate 24 hours.
