• Meanwhile, in a deep bowl, with mixer on high speed, whip egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. Continuing to beat, gradually add 2/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat until mixture holds stiff,m glossy peaks, about 6 minutes total.
• In a deep, 10- to 12-inch frying pan over high heat, bring about 1 1/2 inches of water to a boil; reduce heat to medium. 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.
• Place remaining 1/2 cup sugar in an 8- to 10-inch frying pan over high heat. Shake and tilt pan often until sugar is melted and amber-colored, 3 to 4 minutes. At once, spoon the hot caramel over meringues; don't let it touch the bowls. Caramel immediatelyl becomes crisp and brittle, but softens and begins to melt after standing.

• Gently fold cream mixture into strawberry mixture.
• Spoon into a serving bowl and garnish with strawberry slices and mint (if desired).
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
• This can be made a day ahead. Good luck keeping everyone else in the house out of it.
• Note: A recent reviewer had trouble getting the mixture to set like a pudding. I should have stated that this recipe does not work if you beat the egg whites separately. The strawberry puree, egg whites and sugar need to be beaten together for this to work properly. I know this only because I tried it the other way once by mistake.
