Sous vide strawberries make the perfect topping for rich, vanilla ice cream. The low and slow cooking temperature mellows out the fruit’s tanginess and concentrates its natural sweetness. In our testing we found the ice cream sweet enough, but depending on the ripeness of your berries, you may want to add a tablespoon or two of granulated sugar to increase the sweetness. If desired, add a sprig of mint, basil, or thyme to the strawberries to imbue them with subtle herbal flavor as they sous vide.

2) After the cook, transfer strawberries to a food processor. Pulse 6-8 times until chopped, but not fully pureed (alternatively, transfer strawberries to a cutting board and roughly chop). Divide vanilla ice cream between bowls and top with strawberries. Top each bowl with chocolate shavings and serve.
