Vanilla Bean Paste - House Blend

Bring vanilla character and added sweetness to recipes with House Blend Vanilla Bean Paste. This spoonable blend combines vanilla beans previously used in extract-making with our own Madagascar vanilla extract made with vodka and agave, giving those beans a second purpose while creating a distinctive kitchen ingredient.

Vanilla Flavor with Built-In Sweetness

The blend delivers vanilla flavor along with the sweetness of agave. Start with a small amount and adjust to match your recipe and taste.

When to Choose Paste Instead of Vanilla Extract

Reach for our vanilla bean paste when you want vanilla beans and a touch of sweetness together in a spoonable blend. It is especially suited to recipes where vanilla takes center stage, such as custard, homemade ice cream, and buttercream, or everyday favorites like yogurt and oatmeal.

Choose vanilla extract when you want to add vanilla flavor without the agave sweetness or bean texture, especially when a smooth finish matters. Both can bring vanilla flavor to cakes, cookies, pancakes, and waffles; choose the paste when its added sweetness and texture suit your recipe.

Our house blend is not a standardized one-for-one replacement for vanilla extract. The right amount depends on your recipe and taste, and you may want to adjust other sweeteners to account for the agave.

How to Use Vanilla Bean Paste

• Stir into cake batter, cookies, and buttercream.
• Add to custard or homemade ice cream.
• Mix into yogurt, oatmeal, or smoothies.
• Blend into pancake and waffle batter for a vanilla touch.

Its spoonable texture makes it easy to incorporate into baking recipes and everyday favorites, bringing vanilla beans, our Madagascar vanilla extract, and agave sweetness together in one versatile ingredient.
