Throughout the years, vanilla has gained a reputation for being, well, a bit boring. In reality, however, that couldn’t be further from the truth. As one of the most expensive spices in the world, vanilla is known for its intense flavour and ability to transform dishes, infusing meals with a burst of warm, sweet goodness.
Whether it’s ice cream, fudge or even your regular coffee shop order, the “little pod” as it translates to from Spanish is guaranteed to add an extra dimension to any recipe, as OK!’s Victoria Gray is here to prove. From cheesecake to ice cream to profiteroles, here’s three vanilla recipes that are simple yet delicious… No-bake vanilla cheesecake SERVES 6-8 Ingredients 250g digestive biscuits 100g unsalted butter, melted 600g soft cheese 90g icing sugar 1 tbsp vanilla-bean paste Juice and zest of 1 lime 280ml double cream Fresh berries, to serve (optional) Method Butter and line a 23cm loose-bottomed round cake tin with baking parchment. Put the digestive biscuits in a plastic food bag and bash them with a rolling pin to form crumbs.Transfer the crumbs to a large bowl, then pour over the melted butter.
Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are completely coated.Tip them into the prepared tin and press firmly down into the base to create an even layer. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour and allow to set firmly.To make the filling, add the soft cheese, icing sugar, vanilla paste and lime juice and zest to a bowl, then beat until smooth. Pour in the double cream and continue to beat until the mixture is fully combined.
Spoon it over the biscuit base and smooth the top of the cheesecake with the back of a spoon or spatula. Leave it to set in the fridge overnight. Serve the cheesecake on its own or with fresh berries.
