Vanilla Paste Recipe Round-up!
Vanilla paste is a fun and gourmet way to use vanilla beans. It can be ready to use right away! There are lots of different vanilla paste recipes out there but here is a list of some of the favorite ones often referenced on our page (this information is also in the files):
IndriVanilla/Whitney Olsen recipe:
-Uses just the caviar/scraped beans; not the whole pod
Three Ingredient Paste:
-Easily adaptable for sugar free or alternative sweeteners
Alex Green’s Paste Recipe
-Well loved recipe by group members; blends the whole bean pod
RoseMallow Artisanal by Lani Clough Fox
-Adapted for using beans that are done making extract
Variations:
Paste made with vanilla powder by Rena Morgan
-Can be easier to make without a blender if you grind dry beans in a spice grinder to make the powder.
Date Paste adaptation by Renee Garivay:
-Uses Whitney Olsen recipe but replaces sugar with dates/date syrup
