Cherry & Chocolate Pavlova

As we have been making so much ice cream we have loads of egg whites going begging, so I made a meringue and topped it with some whipped cream, some pitted fresh cherries (getting covered in cherry juice in the process of pitting) and grated over some cherries.
Perfectly seasonal and just as delicious as the more classic pavlovas.
If I had thought ahead I would have put a bit of cocoa in the meringue and make it a chocolate one to go with the topping
