Cremissimo Vanilla with Creme Anglaise

What is it?

Creme anglaise is the egg yolk and milk custard poured over plated desserts, and putting it through vanilla ice cream comes close to running custard through custard. That's the idea. The base stays a clean, fairly plain vanilla rather than a heavy one, and the anglaise ribbons carry the egg richness instead, so the two arrive separately rather than blended into a single French vanilla. Splitting them that way gives more contrast than a custard base alone would manage. Cremissimo is Streets' smoother tub line, and this is its plainest flavour, with no biscuit, nut or chocolate anywhere in it.
