Step 1
Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Add egg whites to a clean bowl. Beat on medium-high until soft peaks form, ~2 minutes.
Step 3
Sprinkle sugar over whites. Beat until stiff peaks form and mixture looks glossy, ~3 minutes.
Step 4
Fold in cornstarch gently with a spatula until just combined.
Step 5
Spoon 4 meringue nests (about 3 inches wide) onto the sheet pan, creating a well in the center of each.
Step 6
Bake until dry and crispy but still pale, 12–14 minutes. Cool on the pan for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Whip heavy cream with 1 tbsp sugar until stiff peaks form.
Step 8
Top each nest with whipped cream, strawberries, and red currants. Serve immediately.
