1. Prepare the Custard:

  • In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Avoid boiling.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, glycine, Collagen Creamer, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Slowly pour the steaming milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
  • Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool.

2. Make the Meringue Islands:

  • In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add the sugar and the poppy seeds, continuing to beat until the mixture forms stiff peaks.
  • Fill a large skillet or saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer.
  • Using a spoon or a piping bag, scoop or pipe small mounds of the meringue mixture onto the simmering water, creating islands.
  • Poach the meringues for about 2-3 minutes per side until they become firm and cooked through.
  • Remove the islands from the water using a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel.

3. Assemble and Serve:

  • To serve, pour a generous amount of the cooled custard and raspberry into serving bowls or glasses.
  • Gently place the poached meringue islands on top of the custard.

4. Enjoy the Symphony:

  • Delight in the delicate contrast of the smooth custard and airy meringue islands, each bite adorned with the subtle crunch of poppy seeds.
