Step 1
Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw a 6-inch circle as a guide.
Step 2
In a clean bowl, beat 3 egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, beating until stiff and glossy, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Fold in 1 tsp cornstarch and 1 tsp lemon juice. Spoon the meringue onto the circle, shaping into a nest with a slight well in the center.
Step 4
Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let the meringue cool completely inside, about 1 hour. The outside should be crisp and dry.
Step 5
Whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fill the cooled meringue with cream and top with 1/2 cup cherries before serving.
