when your making home-made ice cream, without a machine, and when you put da vanilla can you use vanilla absct

Question

does it really matter from vanlla or vanilla abstract or t it the same?

Answer 1

There's vanilla bean, vanilla extract, and imitation vanilla flavoring. Vanilla bean will give you the tiny little black flecks that are a sign of a really great ice cream. When using vanilla bean, you usually split the bean lengthwise and cook the entire bean in the cream and milk mixture. You remove the bean pieces and use a knife to scrape the seeds from the center of the bean, then stir the seeds back into the cream and discard the bean pods. This makes a really wonderful ice cream.

If you do not have access to vanilla beans, vanilla extract, made from real vanilla, is the next best thing. There are varying qualities of extract, with the best being from Madagascar or Mexico, and the worst being the giant bottles brought back from your last Mexican vacation. It is NOT the same thing. A good vanilla (like Penzey's double strength vanilla) makes ice cream that is nearly as good as that done with a vanilla bean.

I would not recommend making ice cream with imitation vanilla flavoring. Ice cream has only a few ingredients, and the vanilla flavor has to be very clean and pure tasting. Imitation vanilla is made from wood and has a more chemical taste. It will be noticeable in your ice cream. However, vanilla purists will hate to hear this, but in taste tests using vanilla in baked goods, MOST people could not tell the difference between real vanilla extract and imitation vanilla flavoring. Most baked goods have enough other flavors that the vanilla is not as obvious, and you can use the less expensive product. Personally, I still use real vanilla, but I no longer stick my nose in the air over imitation.

Answer 2

Vanilla extract is made using real vanilla beans and is fine for ice cream. Using vanilla beans in ice cream will make it taste a bit more "vanillay" and will make little brown flecks (the seeds) in the ice cream. Either one makes very good vanilla ice cream.

There is a HUGE difference if you use imitation vanilla extract, though. This is a very cheap substitute for real vanilla extract and tastes nothing like the real thing.

Answer 4

You mean vanilla extract? You can use that or scrape a vanilla bean, or you can make vanilla sugar and use that for the sugar in the recipe. Each will make a slight difference in the flavor.

Answer 5

They taste the same to me. Some 'purists' will disagree but some people get too picky about things that others cant tell the difference.

Answer 6

Please learn to spell. DA is not an english word...how hard can it be to type an extra letter and use THE? And the word is EXTRACT! You just make yourself sound ignorant. And the others are correct.
