Creating the Perfect Ice Cream Recipe…Īs I’ve pursued my love for baking, food photography, and blogging over these past few years, I jotted down a list of my top dream brands that I would love to collaborate with one day. I truly believe that Nielsen-Massey Vanillas are the “Cadillacs of vanillas”. I’m serious you guys, this stuff is GOLD. Any vanilla bean extract or paste that I’ve bought since then just doesn’t compare in flavour/taste or visual appeal. Since trying that first bottle of Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Vanilla Bean Paste–it has completely spoiled me. Up until that time I’d only used liquid vanilla extract so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with pastes. They’d rave about not only how amazing it tasted, but how the dessert looked even more delicious because of all those little specks of vanilla beans in it.

I’d seen other bloggers incorporate vanilla bean paste into their baking. I was PUMPED because I never win giveaways! I of course used my prize money to buy only the necessities: a beautiful Williams & Sonoma icing spatula, THIS gorgeous white marble tray (haha, such a necessity!), and a bottle of Nielsen-Massey’s Madagascar Vanilla Bean Paste. You can almost taste the vanilla just by catching a glimpse of the tiny flecks of vanilla bean throughout the ice cream.Ībout two years ago I participated in an Instagram giveaway and miraculously actually won! $100 to Williams & Sonoma to be exact. This homemade French Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is made with Nielsen-Massey’s Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Bean Paste, making it deliciously sweet, creamy, and flavourful.
