Step 1
Halve the apricots, remove pits, and toss with honey on a small baking sheet. Roast at 400°F for 8 minutes until caramelized.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment. In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes by hand.
Step 3
Gradually add sugar while whisking. Fold in vanilla and cornstarch until smooth and glossy, ~1 minute.
Step 4
Spoon 4 meringue mounds onto parchment. Use the back of a spoon to create shallow nests with raised edges.
Step 5
Bake at 250°F for 15 minutes until pale and crispy but still chewy inside. Cool on the pan 5 minutes.
Step 6
Chop white chocolate coarsely. Divide nests among plates, fill with berries and roasted apricots, scatter chocolate shards on top.
