Related to Vanilla Essence
Vanilla Bean Paste
Paste is much denser (310 g vs 230 g per cup) and far stronger in vanilla flavour, with visible seeds. Swap teaspoon-for-teaspoon for a richer, more aromatic result, or scale the paste back to 3/4 teaspoon per teaspoon of essence if you want the vanilla to sit at the same strength. See our Vanilla Bean Paste converter.
Vanilla Extract
Extract is stronger and more rounded than essence, with real vanilla complexity. Close in weight (220 g vs 230 g per cup); scale back the volume slightly so the flavour does not run hot. See our Vanilla Extract converter.
Parisian Essence
Parisian essence is a caramel browning and flavouring liquid at the same weight per cup (230 g). It colours and adds a malty note rather than vanilla flavour, so the two do different jobs. See our Parisian Essence converter.
