Alternative to heilala vanilla bean paste?

[Tasty]

I'm not sure if this has been asked before but what is an alternative to heilala vanilla bean paste...I want to make teninas' banana choc chip icecream.

Just regular vanilla extract will do the same job tasty

Or you can buy vanilla paste in the supermarkets near vanilla essence and extract.

Thanks lee. I'll be using that tonight.

Cookie - i didn't ever notice vanilla paste at the shops. Will look out for it next time.

It's very expensive Tasty, roughly $10 for a 65g jar.

This is what to look for Tasty.

How did the icecream go. I want to m ake it for lunch next week for guests.

Cookie - I forgot to put the bananas in the freezer to allow them enough time to freeze so it was runny last night. So I put it in the freezer and have just taken it out now to test.

It's ok but not really my flavour. I don't know if it's the fact that I don't have real maple syrup because I found the same thing with the salted caramel icecream I tried but others seem to like.

I'll have to give it a try when we run out of icecream.

Using the other brands is a little like driving a hyundai after being chauffeur driven in a mercedes…a completely different experience. There are over 20 vanilla beans in a jar of Heilala vanilla bean paste and only 6 pods in you know who’s jar…

So choose your champagne…the real deal or just bubbles!

Just sayin’!
