Instructions
Preheat oven to 250F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cake pan as a guide, draw two 8-inch circles; invert paper.
Mix dried cherries and rum; set aside.
Mix espresso and boiling water; set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar, and then beat at high speed until stiff. Beat in espresso and vanilla.
Spread egg-white mixture into 2 even disks in prepared parchment circles.
Bake for 1 1/2 hours, then turn off oven and let stand in oven for 1 hour.
Let cool. Peel off paper and place 1 meringue layer in a 9-inch springform pan.
Drain cherries; pat dry. Stir into vanilla ice cream; spread into pan. Top with second meringue; freeze for 30 minutes.
Combine chocolate ice cream and nuts; spread onto meringue. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze for 1 hour.
Remove cake from pan. Whip heavy cream and spread on top. Dust with cocoa and garnish with cherries.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port
Ice Cream works really well with Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry
Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "
