  In a heavy saucepan bring the cream, milk, and vanilla to a boil over medium heat.

  Pour the mixture very slowly into the eggs, whisking constantly. Return mixture to the saucepan. Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until the custard coats the back of the spoon (about 4 minutes). Remove from heat.

  Carefully pour the custard through a sieve over the raspberries in the prepared baking dish. Place a large pan in the middle rack of your oven. Place the baking dish in the center of the pan. Fill the pan with hot water halfway up the side of the dish.
