Watkins Pure Vanilla Bean Paste, 2 oz. (Plastic Container)

I just discovered this item last week when I was making homemade vanilla ice cream. It is so much more economical that purchasing the vanilla bean and convenient to use. It is a paste but it is easy to pour out of the bottle. The flavor of my ice cream was just as good as using a more expensive vanilla bean, which you use up with one batch of ice cream. The paste is 2 ounces and i used 1 tablespoon for the recipe. So I still have eough vanilla paste for 3 more batches of ice cream.

This vanilla bean paste has a rich, deep, buttery, vanilla flavor and as you're mixing it into your favorite baked goods, drinks, etc...you'll be pleasantly surprised to see those beautiful, dainty vanilla seeds throughout your creation. I feel this paste just levels up any recipe. Also, this measures out tablespoons to tablespoon with regular vanilla extract. Although, you may find yourself adding just a little more for added decadence. I did!

I absolutely LOVE this!! I use this now with all of my baking instead of vanilla extract, and everything tastes so much better! Highly recommended! Really helps bring the flavor of vanilla into whatever yummy treat you're planning on making!

Always used extract in the past, this is my first time using the paste. I had HEARD it was better than extract, but was skeptical. Having tried it, though, I have to say, WOW, I'm impressed! It really IS much more flavorful!

Very smooth vanilla taste. I have only tried it on sweet potatoes but very satisfied with the natural vanilla flavors

I liked it about the same as any other vanilla extract if anyone knows of any better kinds drop the name in the comments

I'm not sure how much of a vanilla bean taste it adds to my cookies but they were delicious. They just tasted like sugar cookies though. The paste is thick but not too thick and it blends well with the other ingredients

It was better than the cheeper brands but I have since found others i like better. I thought it would be thicker for a PASTE

Very disappointed after spending 3x the cost of vanilla extract to buy the Watkins vanilla bean paste Taste was awful and added no flavor to baked goods. Wasted money %26 cookies.

when I received the box. it was ok. looked like the ad. very nice. the box was not empty. it had a small jar with liquid in it. that was when i knew something wasn't right. I looked at the jar when low and behold the jar said imatation vanilla. it was switched y'all. I can't cook with this. the main ingredient of my prize winning French toast(my family's words ) was gone. I love this beand. but where did my bean go...
