What each ingredient does

Raspberries
Provide the fruit flavor and moisture that give the custard its character.
Egg whites
Whipped by beating, they trap air and set the mixture into a light, airy texture.
Saccharin
Provides sweetness without adding sugar.

The step that matters

Beat the mixture together for one hour. Beating incorporates air into the egg whites, and the foam's stability determines the final light texture. Under-beating leaves a dense, runny result, while the long beating time is what builds the foam structure.
