Using a large spoon, scoop up about an eighth of the meringue at a time and push from spoon into simmering water. Fill pan with scoops of meringue without letting them touch each other (they will expand slightly). Cook until bottoms of meringues are firm to touch, about 1 minute. Turn over and cook until firm to touch on the other side, about 1 minute longer. With a slotted spoon, lift meringues from water, drain briefly, and set slightly apart in a rimmed pan or dish. Repeat to cook remaining meringues (they shrink slightly as they cool).
- Spoon the custard equally into dessert bowls. Add a poached meringue to each bowl and sprinkle with raspberries.
