- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cherry filling (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and white vinegar.
- Gently fold in the cornstarch until well combined.
- Pipe or spoon the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small nests.
