Sous Vide Mezcal Cream

Mezcal is a Mexican liquor that tastes like a smoky tequila. The production process for mezcal is different from tequila — which leads to a very different flavor profile for mezcal. If you like the distinct flavor of mezcal (we love it!), you’ll love the surprisingly smoky flavor in this sweet sous vide cream. We recommend serving it with fresh blackberries, ricotta donuts, or straight from the spoon.
