Heat the oven to 350 F and butter an 8-inch round cake tin.

Cool the cake for 5 minutes, then spread the cherry compote over it and add the pistachio ice cream.
Freeze the assembled cake for 10 minutes while heating the oven to 450 F.
Whip the egg whites with the lemon juice, gradually beat in the sugar, and continue until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Cover the ice cream completely with meringue and pistachio nibs, then bake for 4 to 5 minutes until browned.
