Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

With instructions like, “cook until it’s thick enough to coat the back of a spoon,” preparing custard for ice cream can be intimidating. I mean, what constitutes “coated,” and HOW coated is it supposed to be, anyway?
The Anova Precision Oven takes the guesswork out of this process, thanks to a gentle cook using sous vide mode.
Once you’ve perfected this basic recipe, make it your own by adding fresh mint leaves before it goes into the oven, or crumbled Oreos before you churn it. (You will need an ice cream maker for that part.)
Note: After further testing, this recipe has been updated to use a single-stage cook with a timer.
