- 1 tsp 1tspwhite vinegar
- 1 tsp 1tspvanilla
- 2 oz 2ozbittersweet chocolate, chopped

Preparation
Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Using 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan as guide, trace circle on paper. If using paper, turn over. Set aside.
In bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar, 2 tbsp (25 mL) at a time, until stiff glossy peaks form. Beat in cornstarch and vinegar; fold in vanilla. Fold in chocolate.
Spoon onto circle on paper; spread to fill evenly. With back of spoon, form nest shape with hollow about 5 inches (12 cm) in diameter and rim about 1 inch (2.5 cm) higher than hollow.
Bake in centre of 275°F (140°C) oven until crisp outside but still soft inside, about 1 hour. Turn off oven; let cool in oven for 1 hour. Slide metal spatula under meringue to loosen from paper; slide onto flat serving plate. (Make-ahead: Let stand at room temperature for up to 2 hours.)
In chilled bowl, whip cream; spoon into meringue nest, leaving raised rim bare. Arrange strawberries on cream. To serve, cut with serrated knife.
