- 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.
