Tahitian Vanilla Ice Cream
Episode 116: Tahitian Creme Anglaise
This is hands down the tastiest, creamiest, richest, most wonderful vanilla ice cream ever. Because it's made with a crème anglaise base, it has that irresistibly "chewy" texture, the mark of the best French ice creams. And because it's flavored with Tahitian vanilla bean, it's deeply aromatic. Once you have the crème anglaise on hand, it's also a snap to make, so much so that you'll want to try all the variations that follow.
