Vanilla is the most popular baking flavouring of all and goes into biscuits, creams, ice cream, cakes and frostings. In this category you will find vanilla extract and vanilla flavouring in different forms: vanilla extract 50 ml, vanilla extract with seeds 50 ml, natural vanilla extract and clear artificial vanilla extract. There is also the «Vanilla» flavouring, liquid «Vanilla» flavouring, natural vanilla flavours and natural vanilla flavouring powder for dry mixes.
This way you can choose the right option for every recipe, whether for a pale buttercream frosting, a crème brûlée or a Sunday plaited loaf. Vanilla also works in milkshakes, hot chocolate and coffee and adds depth to fruit salads, compotes and quark creams.
How to use vanilla flavouring
- Vanilla extract with seeds: the visible vanilla specks make ice cream, panna cotta and vanilla custard a treat for the eyes and the palate.
- Clear vanilla extract: ideal for white buttercream, royal icing and pale fondant cakes, as it does not change the colour.
- Flavouring powder: easy to stir into flour, sugar or baking mixes and adds no extra liquid to the batter.
- Dose sparingly: start with a little flavouring, taste and add more if needed.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between vanilla extract and vanilla flavouring?
Vanilla extract is made from vanilla pods and tastes round and full-bodied. A vanilla flavouring is usually more concentrated and works well in mixtures where only a few drops are needed.
Can I use vanilla extract instead of vanilla sugar?
Yes, instead of a sachet of vanilla sugar, use a little vanilla extract and adjust the sugar in the recipe slightly.
When do I add vanilla to the batter?
Add liquid vanilla extract together with the eggs or butter, and mix flavouring powder into the dry ingredients. For creams and ice cream, add the vanilla only after heating so the flavour stays especially intense.
