Take your favorite desserts and baked goods to the next level. Our vanilla bean paste adds rich vanilla flavor, thanks to its decadent vanilla bean flecks from hundreds of vanilla bean seeds it holds in suspension. Use in place of vanilla beans, or as a substitute for vanilla extract, by swapping 1 tablespoon extract or 1 vanilla bean with 1 tablespoon Madagascar vanilla bean paste. Perfect for cookie recipes or making homemade vanilla ice cream. If you're looking to bake with an alcohol-free vanilla, then this paste is for you!

About This Blend

A sweet substitute for vanilla extract and vanilla beans that adds gourmet appearance and taste to baked goods and desserts.

Longer, more stable shelf life than vanilla beans.

Madagascar Vanilla Bean Paste Q&A

How to use vanilla bean paste?

Use vanilla bean paste the same way you would use vanilla extract or vanilla beans -- in your favorite baking and dessert recipes! If using vanilla bean paste in place of vanilla extract or vanilla beans, use a 1:1 ratio.

Are vanilla bean paste and vanilla extract the same?

Vanilla bean paste is not the same as vanilla extract, though it has been formulated to match the same strength of flavor and taste. Vanilla paste contains flecks of vanilla bean seeds, where as vanilla extract is pure liquid.

Is vanilla bean paste better than vanilla extract?

Vanilla bean paste is the same as vanilla extract in strength and flavor, but sometimes can make a dessert look better by giving it a gourmet appearance from the vanilla flecks from the paste.

Does vanilla bean paste need to be refrigerated after opening?

Vanilla bean paste does not need to be refrigerated after opening, but we would recommend shaking it very well prior to using it!
