Sous Vide Vanilla Creme Anglaise

If you love ice cream when it gets all melty and delicious, you’ll love this sous vide vanilla creme anglaise. Creme anglaise is pretty much just ice cream that hasn’t been frozen, and it’s perfect for pouring over warm desserts, whiskey-poached stone fruits like peaches, or fresh berries. We store ours in an air-tight mason jar (if we don’t eat it all right away) in the fridge. It will keep for up to three days, covered and refrigerated.
