Sous Vide Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

The Anova Sous Vide Precision cooker eliminates the stove-top step of homemade ice cream prep, ensuring the mixture is perfectly smooth and the eggs don’t curdle. You’ll still need to churn the cream in an ice cream maker, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
