Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 2 large lemons
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 10-ounce package vegan marshmallows
  • 3.4-ounce package instant lemon pudding
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Instructions

  1. Prepare a 9 x 13-inch baking dish by greasing it with cooking spray.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the sugar until well combined. Add fresh lemon juice and zest.
  3. Fold in the vegan marshmallows until melted and smooth.
  4. Remove from heat and mix in the Rice Krispies until coated evenly.
  5. Transfer to the prepared dish, pressing down gently to form an even layer.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip room-temperature egg whites until frothy. Gradually add sugar and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
  7. Spread meringue over the cooled Rice Krispies base and create peaks with a spatula.
  8. Broil for a few minutes until golden brown—watch closely to prevent burning.
