Beat egg whites until quite stiff -- you are making meringue. Then slowly fold in sugar and vanilla. Toss finely crushed crackers, baking powder and walnuts, and carefully fold into egg whites.
Spread evenly in GREASED 9" pie plate -- this is your pie crust! Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes (or slightly less depending on your oven). Set pie plate out to cool completely on rack. It will shrink some.
FILLING: Beat pudding mix and milk 2 minutes. Fold in whipping topping, followed by drained berries. Refrigerate 4 hours before serving.
You may use fresh berries also, if you have them. It's even better that way!
